Losing a woman like her is a mistake a man only makes once. A year after the love of his life walked out on him, Cade Knightley finds himself at Rawhide Ranch, looking for a fresh start. What he finds instead… is River. Sweet, gorgeous, stubborn River, who once looked up at him with such adoration in her eyes as she knelt at his feet. Now all she looks at him with is anger, and betrayal. Now, he has one final chance to win her back. All he has to do is put his own stubborn pride aside long enough to show her he’s finally prepared to be the Master she deserves. But if he fails, he risks losing her, and his one shot at true happiness, forever.
