Jackson Hunter is trouble with a capital T. Hotheaded. Defiant. Stubborn. Gorgeous. Extraordinarily gifted… I can’t stop thinking about him.
Turns out the onyx-haired, freckled-cheek spitfire is the head handler at the horse rescue center I just bought. I’m hoping we can move on from our rocky start—where he flipped me off…twice.
But nope. No chance.
Jackson is determined to fight me every step of the way. Playing games. Mouthing off. Sending mixed signals. Pushing buttons I didn’t know I had.
None of it works.
The more we get to know each other, the harder I fall for him....
MAVERICK
Sparks fly from the moment we meet.

The more we get to know each other, the harder I fall for him. We have a connection—no matter how much he tries to deny it.
I want him with me. Near me. Under me.
But I’ve been burned before. When I discover Jackson’s been hiding something big, that spark between us ignites a fire that could destroy everything I thought we could have.
JACKSON
From the second I lay eyes on him, Maverick Benson does nothing but confuse me.
He’s a rich, entitled a**hole who makes it hard to keep thinking he’s a rich, entitled a**hole because he doesn’t do typical rich, entitled a**hole things.
He does sweet, considerate things like making soup for me and my grandpa when we get sick.
Trust-building things like sticking to his word and being a decent, considerate boss.
Lust-inducing things like forgetting to put on a shirt when we’re forced to share a cabin—and a bed—for the weekend.
But I cannot fall in love with him. My whole world is about to change forever.
So I shut him out. Mess with him. Rattle him. Talk back to him. Anything to create some distance between us.
It all fails.
The harder I push, the more he draws me in.
It’s not fair to string him along when we can’t be together. I have to end this before it goes too far.
