The Cowboy's Second Chance

Sugar Creek Ranch

Colt Sterling never thought he’d get a second chance—at love or at fatherhood. But then a tragic accident changes every‐ thing, causing him to return home to Sugar Creek Ranch with his five-year-old son, Ben, in tow. Colt is ready to prove he’s the steady, devoted father his boy deserves. With everything on the line, the last thing he expects is for—Lila Hart, his childhood sweetheart—to walk back into his life.

Lila only planned to return to Cedar Falls temporarily, but when Colt needs her, there’s no question she’ll stand by his side. As the town’s new schoolteacher, she’s always had a soft spot for kids—but then Colt starts stealing her heart all over again. The more time she spends at the ranch, the harder it is to ignore the undeniable pull between them.

With the weight of the past pressing in and a custody battle threatening to tear them apart, Colt and Lila must stand together. Can a cowboy with everything to lose and the woman who never stopped loving him find their way back to each other? Or will the fight for Ben’s future cost them their own shot at forever?
