The Whisperer by Elsa Winckler

Loving him could destroy her... High school teacher Cilla Stevens has always been different, especially in how she connects with animals. When she calms a stray dog during an incident at school, she's asked to help a nearby farm with a difficult horse. Cameron Rahl has had a very different relationship with animals since his mother died in a horse riding accident. But now he's inherited his family's farm, he's determined to never let anyone affect him that way again. Until he meets Cilla. He tries to stay away from the gorgeous horse whisperer with the potential to tame him, but something keeps pulling him close. And as much as Cilla tells herself she can keep it casual, she knows they're too connected to be 'just a fling.' Will Cilla's heart win out? Or will it take history repeating itself for Cameron to realise just how much he needs her?
