Can a stubborn cowboy recapture the one who got away?
Ledger McGraw may know all about horses, but he doesn’t know anything about the lie that broke up his first romance with waitress Abby Pierce. Abby, tricked into marrying the wrong man, is at the end of her tether in her abusive relationship. When she learns the truth about her terrible marriage, she becomes desperate to escape it—before her jealous husband kills her.
Though Ledger’s heart was wounded by Abby, he’ll still do anything to protect her and free her from her violent spouse. He’s determined to win her back and reignite their passion…
“Where are you taking me?” Abby asked from the passenger seat of the pickup.
He could tell that each word hurt her to speak. He would have brought the Suburban so she could lie down in the back but he hadn’t known how badly she was hurt.
“To the hospital,” he said.
“No!” She tried to sit up straight but cried out in pain and held her rib cage. “That’s the first place he’ll look for me.”
“Abby, you need medical attention.”
“Please.”
He quickly relented. He couldn’t let Wade near this woman, which meant no hospital. At least for now.
“I’ll take you to the ranch and call our family doctor. But, Abby, if he says you have to go to the hospital—”
“Then I’ll go.” She lay back and closed her eyes. “I didn’t want you involved.”
“I’ve always been involved, because I’ve always loved you.”
She said nothing. He could tell that she was in a lot of pain. It had him boiling inside. If he could find Wade right now…
