I’m returning to my roots. She’s learning how to trust again. But a dark secret might stand in the way of everything… After the worst night of my life, I left my hometown and never looked back, working my way to fame and fortune in Silicon Valley. But when I get a call that my mother is sick, I take it as a sign to examine what really matters in life. I knew coming back to Whittier Falls after twenty years of self-imposed exile would be a challenge. My best friends feel betrayed, my parents hate me, and the rest of the town looks at me like I’m a circus act. Except her. Lily Michaels has her own story and I can’t help but be intrigued. She’s beautiful, strong, and filled with determination to make a good life for her four-year-old son Noah. I want to protect her…from town gossip, from her traumatic past, and especially from my own messy life. I should stay away. But I can’t stop myself from wanting her. And now that I’ve had her, I’ll do anything to protect her. Even give my last breath… Broken Reins is a steamy small town romance featuring a billionaire cowboy and a single mom on her healing journey. It’s full of emotion, cozy vibes, suspense, and open door spice. For more information, please see the Author’s Note, available in the sample.
