He broke her heart to save her life. Now, to save his legacy, he has to live with her.
Ursa Barrett fixes disasters for a living. As a top-tier crisis manager in Manhattan, there is no scandal she can't spin and no fire she can't put out. But when her estranged grandfather dies and leaves her half of a crumbling Wyoming ranch, she faces the one disaster she can't manage: Garrick Kelley.
Ten years ago, Garrick was the boy she loved. Then, without explanation, he became the villain who drove her out of town, leaving her heartbroken and humiliated in the snow.
Now, she's back to claim her inheritance and leave. But there's a catch.
The Will: To inherit the land and the money she desperately needs to save her failing business, Ursa must live at Ironwood Ranch for sixty days. The Roommate: Garrick Kelley. Still huge, still brooding, and still looking at her like she's the enemy. The Problem: Someone doesn't want them there.
Garrick has spent a decade playing the martyr, drowning in debt and secrets to protect Ursa from the dark truth of their family history. He wants her gone before the danger swallows her whole. But the winter storms are closing in, trapping them in a drafty house with one working shower, too much whiskey, and a chemistry that burns hotter than the fires threatening to destroy the ranch.
As fences are cut and livestock poisoned, the line between hate and love blurs. Ursa realizes that the cowboy who broke her heart might be the only one who can keep it beating.
Can they survive the winter, the sabotage, and each other? Or will the secrets of the past burn Ironwood to the ground?
The Cowboy's Frozen Heart is a high-stakes, forced proximity Western Romance with a dash of suspense. If you like grumpy cowboys, second chances, and fierce heroines who don't back down, you'll love this winter storm of emotion.
