Can they strike love again? At nineteen, Clara Graves left Necessity, Texas, to try to heal her broken heart. She swore she would never come back, and she's kept that promise. Until now. When she returns for her uncle's funeral, she inherits a small oil company that may keep her tied to Necessity for a few days longer than she expected. But as soon as she can close or sell the business, she’s pointing her boots toward greener pastures. To this day, Mitchell MacAllan regrets letting Clara go without a fight. But his whole life was in Necessity, and leaving town wasn’t in the cards. As the foreman of Aerio Oil and Gas, he works hard to keep the townspeople employed and maintain the business, despite a recent downturn in petroleum prices. Now Mac has less than a week to convince Clara that she should give Aerio a chance, and maybe even forgive him in the meantime. Otherwise, she will once again be leaving Necessity—and taking his heart with her, this time for good.

Two years ago, billionaire rancher Tor Edwards was trampled by a bull when he jumped into a rodeo arena to save a child. He's mostly recovered, but the damage to the speech center of his brain might leave him with a permanent stutter. Now he's tired of dating women who seem interested in him for his money—but who are impatient with his slow speech. He knows he's not the man he used to be; he doesn't need anyone to point it out to him. So he's glad to be back on his ranch in Necessity, where no one cares if he's wealthy, or if it sometimes takes him longer to get a sentence out than it should. When he meets Leta, the town's newest, and most beautiful, resident, he decides to see if maybe she could learn to love him for himself, before he tells her that he's a billionaire. But when Tor's billion-dollar secret comes out, he'll have to decide what matters more: honesty, or telling the truth.

Love isn't always a breeze… “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.” If one more person says that, Ava Jordan is going to scream. And now she has to be in her brother’s wedding before she can hang up that ugly taffeta permanently. Even worse, the man she’s been avoiding is the only other guest in this destination wedding to Antigua. Sure, she’s had a crush on Grant for as long as she can remember, but he’s out of her life. Their steamy fling that turned way awkward made sure of that. Now she’s going to be stuck on a small island with him—so maybe she could have one more steamy fling before it's over for good? But Grant wants forever. And he’s going to do everything he can to convince her of that.
