The Horsepower of the Holiday
He told her once he wasn't interested in dating her if they weren't exclusive. She's a former racecar driver just trying to find the right man for her at 200 miles per hour. Can Oakley slow down enough to have a relationship with Ranger, or will they both be left lonely this Christmas?
Ranger Glover has worked at Shiloh Ridge Ranch his entire life. In his spare time, he's secretly developed an app for the cowboys around Three Rivers to share their experiences with everything from restaurants to events so they can all impress the women they like with their dating abilities. Too bad he hasn't been able to truly benefit from Two Cents in his own love life.
When he runs into a sobbing Oakley Hatch after an evening out, the chemistry and attraction between them is just as explosive as it's always been. She asks him for a ride home, and Ranger finds he can't say no to that.
He has told her no before, when he learned she was dating multiple men at the same time. He didn't want to be one of them, and he told the gorgeous brunette no.
Oakley Hatch has won more Grand Prixs and amassed a huge fortune from her time on the Formula One racing circuit. She can strap into a racecar and drive over two hundred miles an hour. That didn't scare her. Not having Ranger Glover does. So does telling him what kind of person she'd been while racing cars, as it wasn't anyone to be proud of.
She's ended all of her relationships to try to get back on Ranger's good side, and when he learns that, he immediately asks her out. A date with him is all Oakley wants, and as their relationship speeds forward, all of her secrets come tumbling out.
Ranger handles them like a champ...but he doesn't tell her anything about Two Cents. When she finds out he's been keeping something from her, the betrayal cuts deep—and throws her right back into her past. Can Ranger and Oakley find common ground this Christmas? Or will there simply be too much horsepower in her blood to make their relationship work?
