To get back her horse no matter the cost to herself. The warrior's unexpected offer of help and unsolicited advice on how to be manlier sparks an intimate desire to reveal her more feminine side to the strong, unyielding man.
Rejected by the love of his life, Sean O'Cisoghe wants simply to return home and heal his broken heart. When a young "lad" steals the horse out from under him, he discerns the spirited woman may be in way over her head against her ruthless father. Searching for her brother while keeping her would-be betrothed at bay, Sean must confront the fact that Thomasina sparks a deep need within him to protect her as one of his own because she has stolen his heart.

Kimbra is a writer who grew up in a family with 9 kids and only 1 TV, so she spent her days reading and, later, writing. She loves books. . .maybe because she never got to pick TV shows they watched. But she’d run home after school to catch the last fifteen minutes of Dark Shadows...She still loves to run...and read. Her favorite romance novels are The Hunger Games...okay, I know, it's a survival book but it's really all about romance. Then there were the series: Twilight and Divergent, and more but I also love paranormal, Horror and even light books like Dewey the Small Town Library Cat... Mainly, I just love to read. . . and write. She’s sorry to be so long-winded but as she said, she loves to write!...and talk and...knit, and sew, and bake...She could go on but she’ll stop by saying, she hopes you’ll stop by and say “Hi”.
