Downpour By Maggie C. Gates - The Griffith Brothers #2

He's lost all hope. She's determined to show him how to live again . . .

RAY
Back-up plans are for people who plan on losing. Which is exactly why I didn't have one.

It took eight seconds for me to win the biggest bull-riding competition of my life, and then one second to lose everything except that championship buckle.

I left my family's cattle ranch at eighteen with no intention of ever returning. But now I was back, stuck in a wheelchair . . . and with a beautiful disaster attempting to burn my house down.

BROOKE
It was just a little fire. Tiny, even. But that didn't change the fact that Ray Griffith didn't want me anywhere near him. I came here to be his care-giver, and I'm determined to do my job anyway.

So we came to an agreement: I ignore him, and he doesn't fire me.

Easy, right? Not so much when we can't keep our hands off each other . . .

TROPES . . .
