Cold Night Calving - H. Thorne

Nora reaches Cinder Ridge just ahead of a Colorado blizzard and walks straight into a desperate calving. Saving the newborn should be the hardest part of her night. Then the mountain road closes, the power begins to fail, and she is stranded with Caleb Cross, the ranch's controlled, stubborn foreman.

Caleb trusts work, preparation, and very little else. Nora is sharp, capable, and entirely unwilling to obey him for convenience. Their professional friction burns hotter with every hour the storm keeps them together.

But the blizzard is hiding more than attraction. Missing fuel, forged veterinary labels, and an illegal drug scheme threaten Cinder Ridge and Nora's clinic. With the ranch cut off and lives depending on them, Nora and Caleb must decide whether the person most likely to break through their defenses is also the one they can trust when everything else fails.

Cold Night Calving is Book 1 of the Cinder Ridge Ranch series, a high-heat contemporary Western romance with open-door passion and a complete happily-ever-after.
