Books like Chase the Lightning (The Lightning #1) by Madeline Baker
Amanda’s world turns upside down when Trey, a rugged stranger stowing a 1863 banknote on his trail, arrives on a white stallion that appears to come from the swirling mist. Told of a spirit horse that will always carry him away from danger, Trey is haunted by the words of his Apache grandfather. With a bullet in his back and a posse in pursuit, he cannot stay long unless his ancestral advice prevails. While Amanda, newly engaged to a law‑abiding fiancé, finds herself drawn to Trey's raw danger and desire, she realizes her attraction to him can be no robbery but a gift of the heart. Their forbidden romance unfolds against a backdrop of time travel, historic 1863 currency, and the intangible forces that separate the past from the present.
