Tessa has spent four years flinching around Blake, the glamorous model stepsister who turned their blended home into a daily trial. When a family riding trip leaves the ranch one horse short, Tessa ends up sharing a saddle with her, their parents trotting far ahead and noticing nothing.
Out on the trail, Blake's grip on her waist starts as a practical gesture and slowly becomes something neither of them names. Every brush of breath and lingering touch blurs the old hatred into a pull Tessa can't explain. Then she learns the ranch had horses to spare, and that Blake planned the whole ride. Now Tessa has to decide whether she is being toyed with or truly wanted.
