Thaw My Heart (Lone Pine Ranch #1)

She ran from love. He became her refuge.

Kit Harlow wants one thing this Christmas: silence. No cheer, no complications. After moving back home to Aspen Hollow with a broken heart, he’s spent the last two years working on his uncle’s cattle ranch. Intentionally distancing himself from society.

But when Sadie Lane moves in next door and takes a job on the ranch, silence is no longer an option. She’s bright, wild, reckless, and impossible to ignore. Hiding secrets about herself and her past from everyone around her. Kit wants her to quit, but Sadie has come too far, and she would do anything to stay.

He doesn’t trust easily. She doesn’t trust at all. In the quiet sweep of a bitter Montana winter, the man who wanted to be alone may become the only safe place she’s ever known.

Perfect for fans of grumpy cowboys, sizzling banter, and swoonworthy small-town romance.

Tropes:

• grumpy sunshine
• winter time
• neighbors
• banter x steam
• small town
• found family
• secrets
• cowboy romance
