Description

A runaway cowboy. A secret son. A second-chance romance that could break two hearts . . . or finally make them whole.

Cadee Stockton has spent eight years doing what tough Texas women do best: holding the ranch together, raising her son right, and keeping all her dirty little secrets well hidden. But secrets are hard to hide when her son’s twinkling golden eyes and impish, dimpled smile are the spitting image of a certain town bad boy. Huck Hennessy was once her best friend . . . and her greatest temptation. Now he’s just the man who shattered her heart before vanishing from Promise Springs without a backward glance. Letting him into her son’s life would be risky. Letting him back into her heart would be downright reckless. But Huck has always been Cadee’s favorite bad idea—and this time, the sparks between them might burn hot enough to light the way home.

Huckleberry “Huck” Hennessy has always been charming, funny, and about as reliable as a screen door in a Texas tornado. He came home for an inheritance, not a family—but Promise Springs has a way of handing a runaway cowboy exactly what he’s been avoiding. One look at Camden Stockton and the truth hits Huck harder than any barroom punch. Now the man who never could stay put has to prove he can be the kind of dependable daddy who builds treehouses, battles bullies, and helps at church harvest festivals. Winning over his son won’t be easy. Winning back Cadee may be downright impossible . . . especially when Huck has a secret of his own. But he’s always been good at impossible things, particularly when they involve claiming the one woman who can still bring him to his knees. If Huck can finally hang up his running boots, he might discover forever has been waiting for him all along.
