Kelsey Hunt is a kind of horse whisperer, able to turn recalcitrant stallions into pussycats. She likes to think of herself as a free spirit, the antithesis of her maternal-minded sister.  The idea of falling in love and becoming a parent is terrifying to her; she is so much better with four legged creatures than two.  She’s also seen how tragically love can end and saying that she likes to have no strings attached is her way of protecting her heart.

Then Cooper Fortune steps into her barn…
