The Cowboy's Former Flame

Sugar Creek Ranch

He broke her heart once to set her free—now she’s back, and he’ll do anything to prove she belongs by his side. Can love find its way home after ten years apart?

Ten years ago, Jesse Sterling let Hannah Miller go, convinced she was meant for bigger things beyond their small town of Cedar Falls. Now, she’s back—older, wiser, and with no intention of rekindling old flames. She’s here to help her parents, not to fall for the cowboy who once shattered her heart. But when fate—and a shared restoration project at Sugar Creek Ranch—forces them back into each other’s lives, the embers of the past prove harder to ignore than either of them expected.

Jesse has spent the past decade building a life rooted in the land he loves, turning his passion for woodworking into a thriving hobby. But the moment Hannah walks back into town, he realizes he made the biggest mistake of his life all those years ago. Determined to prove he’s not the same man who let her walk away, Jesse is willing to do whatever it takes to earn her trust again—even if it means risking his own heart in the process.

But just as they start to find their way back to each other, a shocking revelation shakes Cedar Falls, forcing Jesse to confront his past in ways he never imagined. With the town buzzing with speculation and Hannah questioning whether history is doomed to repeat itself, Jesse must prove that this time, he's ready to fight for the woman he's always loved. Can they leave the past behind and build a future together, or will old wounds and lingering doubts tear them apart once more?
