Ruff House (Tradition, Texas Trilogy #1)

A journal brought him to Tradition. She was the reason he stayed.

Young widow Katie Mitchell finally has her dream of a safe haven and alternative equine therapy center in sight. After losing her husband and high school sweetheart, this counselor has poured all her energy and resources into preserving his memory--out of love and guilt. With funds in hand, the expansion of her animal-centered non-profit requires the perfect piece of land in her hometown.

Ex-Marine businessman Troy Montgomery finds the perfect property for his equine retreat and wants it instantly. Much like the feisty woman who currently resides there. Looking for answers in his younger brother’s journal, he has his own plans for the land that speaks to the damaged cowboy under his polished exterior.

This means war. Or cohabitation. Or maybe healing for them both.
