Now Annabelle is a poised, polished ice queen, whom no man has ever touched....
She intends to remain strictly professional behind her camera lens, yet his searing gaze cuts through every defense, unmasking a lonely heart starved for warmth.
Stefano Cortez can tame a wild horse quicker than any man alive, and passion heats the blood in his veins. He prides himself on never lingering past a single night, until her quiet courage shatters his ruthless detachment, demanding a surrender he never meant to give.
Challenging her to ride across the sunlit fields of Santo Castillo, he coaxes her to leave fear behind and work the spirited yearlings at his side. Annabelle might appear untouchable, but Stefano sees beneath the frost, sees the real her—a woman desperate to be brought to life again.
