Mccray, C: Country Thunder

In this cowboy romance, a therapist's fears are stronger than a rancher's determination to win her heart.

Miranda Hawthorne opens her horse therapy business in the small town of King Creek, Arizona, after leaving her past behind. When working with children and adults with disabilities, she encourages their progress while unconsciously blocking her own recovery. With each passing day, she thickens the wall around her battered heart.

After a stallion throws Justin McLeod's daughter, he turns to a horse therapist to help her work up the courage to ride again. When Justin meets the beautiful Miranda, he's intrigued and wants to get to know her better despite the challenges he'll face as a single father.
Justin soon learns stallions are easier to break than Miranda's barriers, especially when she avoids spending time with him.
