When he picks up some unexpected cargo in the form of a gorgeous if battered stowaway, he’s in trouble. The same reckless urges that convinced him to abandon his education are telling him to keep Hayden close and safe, maybe even teach her how to love again after the disastrous relationship she’s fleeing. When troubled times fall on Compass Ranch, Hayden will do anything to repay the kindness Austin and his family showed her.
