Trace's Trouble

Cowboy Trace Williams thought he had trouble when his wife served him with divorce papers, forcing him to move to his cousin's horse rescue ranch. But that was nothing compared to handling the female squatter he's supposed to evict from Last Chance Ranch. Though she's a crack shot and has no use for politeness or subtlety, her ability to communicate with animals has him seeking her out on behalf of the ranch...and himself. Whisper Adams lives off the grid. She cares for her invalid uncle and watches over the wildlife that finds her. The animals are more trustworthy than the people she's encountered. So when a hard-bodied, easy going cowboy arrives at her trailer and causes her heart to race, she's anxious for him to leave, until he asks for her help at the ranch. Since they end up together more often than she prefers, Whisper doesn't deny her attraction to Trace, who introduces her to new experiences, from riding horses to a New Year's night in bed. But mixing with people, any people, opens her to new threats. This relationship might cost Trace his heart, but it could very well cost Whisper her life.This is the 2nd book in the Last Chance Series that began with Christmas with Angel.
