Taking a job on a ranch and moving all the way to Montana is my chance—a way for me to live somewhere new and start fresh. Again. A change in scenery and some fresh mountain air is exactly what I need. But falling for a grumpy single dad, who’s also my boss, isn’t a part of the plan. Rhett Black is easily the most attractive man I have ever laid eyes on. Until he opens his mouth. His insufferable attitude gets under my skin, and we push each other’s buttons every chance we get. When he sees me dancing with another man, his jealousy does something to my insides. Before I know it, we’re thrown into a different kind of passion. Now, I’m falling. Fast. But Rhett has been burned before, left behind by so many people in his life. Will he be able to trust that I’m here to stay? This family has given me a safe place to land. And I have no intention of ever giving that up.

We were best friends, but I wanted more. Over a decade ago, I risked everything telling Hayes how I felt about him. But when he shut it down, I ran away and never looked back. Until my mom calls and says she needs my help, forcing me to make my way back to Cane Creek, Montana. And Hayes Black’s annoying charm. Hayes works his way back into my life, begging for a second chance at our friendship. It takes a lot of groveling, but I finally relent. After all, he was my best friend. Losing a love like that is tough. I soon realize my feelings are still there, and he makes it clear that friendship isn’t all he wants from me either. Our past is full of things we should’ve done better – secrets we kept and mistakes we made hang heavy over our heads. Maybe this second chance wasn’t such a great idea after all.
