Momentum — Cassandra Carr

Marco D'Allesandro has a destiny he wants no part of--running his family's Italian olive oil empire. Against his family's wishes, he moved to America to pursue his dream of becoming a professional bull rider and is at the pinnacle of his career, but his family wants him home. Things only get more complicated when he meets Natalie Webster, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed angel who's got problems of her own. Their chemistry is explosive from the beginning, and both find themselves in a situation they never thought they would--they're falling in love. Natalie has had a rough time of it lately, and it's tempting to let naturally protective Marco take care of her. Both in and out of bed. Marco discovers he relishes the role and wants to keep Natalie close. Really close. But Natalie's situation in life and Marco's continued battle with his family threaten to tear them apart. Neither of them was looking for forever, but they may have found their true destiny in each other.
