<P>Scarred and battered loner Zane Taylor has a gift with animals particularly horses but he's at a total loss when it comes to knowing how to handle women. Even though he's sworn off love he can't seem to stay away from Bryn Callahan. He's known for being a horse whisperer but can't seem to find his voice at all where Bryn is concerned.Bryn Callahan has a heart for strays but she is through trying to save damaged men. She vows to only date nice guys which is a category that does not include Zane Taylor. Too bad he's the one who sets her pulse racing every time she's around him.Starting a horse rescue ranch wasn't in Bryn's plan but try telling that to the assembly of abandoned animals that have found their way to her doorstep. And when a chance encounter with a horse headed for slaughter brings Zane and Bryn together they find themselves given a chance to save not just the horse but maybe each other...</P>
