Too Wild to Be Tamed

A retired bull rider. A runaway photographer. Five days stranded in the Kentucky wilderness with nowhere left to hide. Katherine Zoe Kincaid spent five years outrunning one reckless night in Cheyenne. A motel room. A rodeo cowboy with dangerous eyes and rough hands. And the way he looked at her like she was worth staying for. Now a last-minute magazine assignment drops her deep into the Kentucky Appalachians, embedded with Hale Mountain Guide Tours. The lead guide is Ford Hale. Former PBR contender. Wilderness expert. The man she disappeared on before sunrise. Ford built something real after the rodeo circuit. A business carved from sweat equity, hard miles, and mountain grit. He remembers every second of that night. He also remembers waking up alone. So when Zoe walks into his world carrying a camera, a contract, and the legal name she hid from him five years ago, it hits like a bull's horn to the chest. Then the mountain turns dangerous. A flash flood. A collapsed crossing. One emergency shelter. One sleeping bag. No way out except through each other. And whatever Zoe's been running from is about to catch up to both of them.
