A TIME TO HEAL...When unjustly suspended police officer Jason Anjell arrives at Chimera Ranch, he only wants one thing: to clear his name, so he can get back to the job he loves. Bunking next door to busy horse-trainer Nikki Walsh and her troubled three-year-old niece, Ellie, he didn't count on falling for the curvaceous, blue-eyed beauty, to whom he offers sorely-needed cooking lessons...and a lesson in letting herself be loved....AND FALL IN LOVEWith his rugged good looks and sweetly tender ways with Ellie, Jason makes Nikki's knees weak. But she's known too much pain to consider opening her heart. Still, something in his gentle eyes makes her long for the life she's always denied herself. Now, as he surrounds her and Ellie with love and safety, Jason has Nikki wondering if she's finally found the one man she can let herself trust.
