She's a widow desperate for a second chance. He's always regretted letting her get away. Heartbroken by secrets, betrayal, and the tragic car accident that took her husband, Lake Hollowell has no choice but to return to her small hometown of Blue Falls, penniless and jobless . . . and with two young daughters depending on her. Cowboy and rancher Logan Ashford has always been reliable—the good guy who protects his family and herd. So when he has the chance to right his biggest regret, to be there for his high school sweetheart when she needs it most, he’s determined to do everything in his power. Starting by giving her a job. The last thing Lake wants is Logan Ashford as her boss. Not only did he break her heart, but he fills out a pair of Wranglers way too well for her sanity. But she needs the money and without any other options, she takes the offered job. After all, it’s been years since high school and they’ve both changed. But seeing each other daily flames the sparks of attraction that had lain dormant. And when Logan gets a front row seat to Lake’s sweet resiliency, while Lake is a recipient of the loyalty and dedication Logan gifts the people he loves, soon the wild pull of desire between them can’t be ignored. But Logan was Lake’s husband’s friend. And it’s only been months since Lake’s husband tragically passed. They can’t rekindle what they once had. But how can something that everyone says is so wrong feel so right?
