Spirit on the Range by Sofia Aves

Badgers. Because a girl always needs a friend in the wild, and Sienna Andrews has named them all.
Backwoods Montana trader Kyle Michaelson knows how to walk a lonely road, but Red Hart Ranch is a seasonal favourite to call a temporary home. But the cowboy turned loner isn’t headed up the range for just good food and company. He can’t get wild child mountain girl Sienna Andrews out of his mind, and a short trip means seeing more of the girl who understands that talking is about more than conversation and that saying nothing can form a bond.

When he turns up at RHR and Sienna isn’t around, he delves into the mountainside, locating her as a storm sets in. Sharing a cave isn’t on his to-do list but the more he learns about the girl who never dealt with society, the more he needs to know until a forbidden kiss leads to heartstrings. A trip to her home reveals secrets she didn’t know she shouldn’t keep, and tests Kyle’s trust in a battle that could lead to a place for them both…or heartache.
