Spurs and Sparks
Book 1 of the Healing Springs Ranch series
248 pages · First published 2025
Tyler McQuaid has devoted himself to managing his family’s luxury ranch resort and has little interest in risking another marriage after his first failed. His father’s serious illness changes his priorities, especially when the older man asks Tyler to give love another chance. Traveling nurse Kinsey Wingrove arrives to care for him and immediately clashes with Tyler, while her own history of loss has taught her to keep relationships shallow and temporary. Sparks, family matchmaking, and life at Healing Springs Ranch force two guarded people to consider whether fear of repeating the past is worth surrendering a future together.
