Overview

Izzy King has a reputation. He's the wild one. The fun one. The one who does what he wants. And if he’s a little broken under his fun-loving façade, well, that’s nobody’s business—especially not Split Rock Ranch’s long-time vet, Dr. Keegan Reid. That guy is the worst. Izzy keeps his distance—that is, until his boss decides they need to work together to care for a group of rescue horses. Whatever. Izzy will do what he does best and ignore the situation until it goes away.

Keegan Reid knows what he wants. He’s happy with his practice, his dogs, his cabin, and volunteering with the local animal rescue. What he doesn’t need is chaos—and Izzy King is chaos incarnate. Yet somehow, that doesn’t prevent him from picking up the verbal gauntlet every time Izzy throws it down. There’s something about Izzy that won’t let him turn the other cheek.

Izzy and Keegan might fight like cats and dogs—but everyone knows that high emotions often hide explosive chemistry. Keegan thinks they’d be a good fit if Izzy gave him a chance. But apparently, that old saying about leading a horse to water also applies to stubborn ranch hands. Izzy’s got a past that makes him prone to bolting, and Keegan needs to decide if he wants to tame another feral creature.

Something Unavoidable is book six in the Split Rock Ranch series. It includes an age gap, sass and banter, smoking chemistry, and two guys who don’t hate each other as much as they think they do. It can be read as a standalone but the series is best read in order. Look inside for important CW.
