He lied to save her. Now, she sleeps in his bed while he guards her from a chair.
Eleven years ago, DL Hickman made a gut-wrenching choice: he lied, forcing the love of his life, Brea Holloway, to leave Rockbridge. He spent a decade mourning the woman he ruined, the woman who secretly carried his heart and his child.
Brea suffered for ten years. Now, she has finally escaped her escalating abuse, wounded and terrified. With nowhere left to run, her only hope is the H&H Ranch, home to her brother and, impossibly, DL.
DL is stunned. His sacrifice was for nothing. The woman he lost is home, and she’s brought a ten-year-old boy who shares his eyes. Their reunion is so desperate, so brutal, that it begins with Brea in his bed, nursing wounds from a knife he’d once gifted her, while he keeps vigil from a chair nearby.
He is trapped in the ultimate forced proximity—physically close to the family he never knew he had, yet emotionally worlds away. DL demands a second chance, ready to fight for her, but Brea can’t forgive the man who unknowingly abandoned her to a cruel fate.
As the danger from her past follows her to the ranch, can they survive sharing a room—the agony of raw physical nearness without emotional forgiveness—long enough to reclaim the life they lost?
If you love a fiercely protective cowboy hero, immediate forced proximity, and steamy, high-stakes second-chance romance, welcome to the H&H Ranch.
