Grant: A Storm Farm Series by Elizabeth Bradley

Ethan Storm built his world on rigid schedules and brutal efficiency, sacrificing everything to save his family farm—but when a chaotic force of nature named Keri Dawson crashes into his orderly life, his carefully constructed walls begin to crack. Ethan views emotions as dangerous variables. As the owner of Storm Farm, he demands perfection from his horses, his staff, and himself. He doesn't have time for the fiery, unqualified cook he reluctantly hired, or the way her messy presence makes his empty house feel disturbingly like a home. He needs control to survive. She is the definition of chaos. Keri Dawson has spent her life running before she can be left behind. Posing as a cook to secure a place to stay, she brings beautiful destruction to Ethan’s sanctuary. But beneath his gruff orders and brooding silence, she sees a man who cares so deeply it terrifies him. As their clashes turn into an undeniable, steamy connection, Keri faces a terrifying choice: keep running to stay safe or stay and risk the one thing she’s never had—a home. When the truth about Keri’s skills comes out and old wounds resurface, Ethan’s need for control collides with Keri’s fear of abandonment. Can a man who refuses to feel and a woman who refuses to stay find a way to heal together, or will their pasts tear them apart? Read more
