Branded Hearts (Carter Ridge Book 3)

BRANDED HEARTS is the all-new small town romance book by Sapphire Hale!

Country boy Caden Hart is starting his third year with the Carter Ridge Rangers, where he’s known for his incredible skill on the ice and his quiet demeanour off it. Raised on a sprawling ranch in Texas, surrounded by older brothers and brusque ranch-hands, Caden has always followed their lead, working hard and keeping his head down. And as the only player on the team with a long-distance girlfriend, Caden keeps his private life private, and is more than okay avoiding the spotlight. So the last thing that he expects is for his coach to see his dark horse potential, and to be offered a proposition that could change his hockey career forever.

Winter Saint-Haven is the epitome of sunshine, and the most-loved rider at Hartstrings Ranch. While her boyfriend is in Carter Ridge playing D1 ice hockey, she’s teaching, herding and riding with the most talented ranch-hands in Texas. After an incident in her teens led to the end of her dream career, she never expected to see the day where a competitive offer would be back on the table. But with Winter’s speed in the saddle, and her ability to tame the wildest horses, this is an opportunity that no country girl could miss.

There may be hundreds of miles between them, but his heart only beats for her... And now they’re going to take the reins, and win their wildest dreams together.

Branded Hearts can be read as a stand-alone novel.
