At 16, Ashton Langdon had experienced her first kiss and it had sealed her heart and her fate inextricably with Wesley Craemer’s. Avoiding temptation, Wesley kept his distance, indulging in women who would sate the desires he had so very nearly lost his head to. He wanted Ashton, of that there was no doubt. He wanted his hands on her, yet it was the last thing he could allow. They had grown up as neighbours, had spent long days on the farm in the company of her brothers, Matt and Chad, but Wesley couldn’t feel less brotherly towards Ashton Langdon. At 18, she was singled out as a rising star in the showjumping world and accepted an invitation to join the Equestrienne Riding Academy in Essex. Wesley was too busy sowing his wild oats to even notice that she was gone - or so Ashton thought. Wesley had other ideas.
