But when her uncle Clyde has an accident the weekend of the Copper Mountain Rodeo, handsome cowboy Rye Calhoun is there to help.

From the moment Rye and Ansley meet, their chemistry sizzles, but their worlds are nothing alike, and neither of them is in a position to compromise. Is love really enough, or are they asking to have their hearts broken?

The cowboy I swore I’d never want again just walked back into my life, and resisting him might be the hardest thing I have ever done.

Brooks McCallister walks back into the small town of Riverbend, Texas, looking unfairly hot just like when he shattered me years ago. One look and my body betrays every boundary I ever built. I tell myself I’m fine. I tell myself I’m past all of it.

Then a McCallister ranch emergency forces us together, pressed close in the heat and dust, his breath warm against my skin.

The tension between us hits hard. His eyes linger. My pulse kicks. Memories spark to life like they were waiting for this moment.

I should walk away before I repeat history. Instead, I keep letting him in. My son Wyatt invites him to dinner. Afterward, with bedtime stories done, the night turns steamy. I end up with two pink lines and a cowboy I swore I would never want again.

Now I am staring down the one truth I never wanted to face. If he leaves a second time, he won’t just break my heart. He will break me and everything I’ve rebuilt.
