The cowboy whisperer / by Sol, Sabrina,author.;
After her last disastrous competition went viral, Olympic hopeful Veronica del Valle spent three years healing -- and hiding. Finally ready for another shot, Veronica agrees to train at an under-the-radar, family-run ranch in tiny Esperanza, California. The living accommodations? Sparse. High-end equestrian equipment? Zero. What Rancho Lindo does have is stable manager Tómas Ortega, a brooding, handsome cowboy who offers Veronica unsolicited advice during her training sessions. Advice that, infuriatingly, turns out to be right every time. The only thing Tómas cares about are his horses and saving his family's ranch--and not their new boarder, who makes it clear she's not happy with his stables. So he's shocked Veronica offers to pretend to be his girlfriend when Tomas's ex comes back to town. All she wants in return is some after-hours training. He soon realizes Veronica is nothing like he imagined, and the harder he falls, the more he worries, because Veronica's Olympic dreams will eventually take her away from Rancho Lindo -- and from him.
