He’s the quiet cowboy next door. She’s the city girl with heartbreak in her rearview. Neither of us is looking for love—but summer has other plans**.** After ten years in a bad marriage, Regina Mason returns to her hometown with three kids in tow and her pride barely intact. She's not here to find a man—just to rebuild, breathe again, and stitch her life back together. What she doesn't expect? Beau Madison. Rough around the edges. Wealthy. Gorgeous. The ex-con turned self-made millionaire who's been haunting her thoughts for fifteen years. The last thing Beau needs is his mentor's daughter moving into the cottage he renovated with his own hands. But now that Reggie's back? He can't stop watching. Wanting. Wondering what it would be like to finally claim what he's wanted for more than a decade. She's off-limits. He's emotionally unavailable. So why does it feel so right when they agree to keep things casual? But lines blur fast when heat turns to need—and what started as friends-with-benefits tangles into something neither can control. He thinks he's not good enough to keep her. She's too scared to trust again. But one rough ride might be exactly what they both need.
