Ryder Wilde reclaims his home ranch with the purpose of protecting the wild horses that others have been adopting only to later lead them to slaughter. After the dust clears from a successful roundup, Ryder discovers a beautiful photographer in the middle of the valley, and she has a secret much like his own.

Brooke Bateman has spent the better part of her life completely alone. As a freelance photographer, she’s always been drawn to capturing wild animals in their natural habitat, but she’s begun to suspect that there’s a reason behind what seems to drive her.

After Brooke watches Ryder’s shift into a beautiful black stallion, she grows weary. And there’s only one way that she’ll become well enough to make a difference in future roundups. She’ll claim that inner part of herself that she’s denied for far too long. Along the way, she’ll gain a family, purpose, and unimaginable love.
