A lonely widow. A handsome ranch hand. A undeniable love . . . Pearl Weston's late husband left her with more than just mountains of medical debt. He also left her with a broken heart, two little girls to raise on her own, and a ranch she's bound and determined will succeed without the charity people keep trying to force on her. So when Henry South shows up uninvited to work at her ranch, Pearl does her best to kick him out. But Henry is every bit as stubborn as Pearl. And he's handsome. And funny. And he adores her girls. Problem is, he's also eight years younger than Pearl. Worse, Pearl isn't about to risk another broken heart. But sometimes the heart has plans of its own . . . Don't wait another second to find out whether Pearl or Henry will out-stubborn the other. Content warning: Pearl cusses a little (nothing too bad). She's working on it, dang it.
