Perfect for you if...

  • You love small-town romance where the stakes feel real—single parenthood, second chances, and past hurt that needs healing.
  • You're drawn to stories where the hero actively works to earn back trust instead of expecting instant forgiveness.
  • You enjoy contemporary romance with a family element that doesn't sideline the central love story.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer slow-burn romance where attraction takes a backseat—this one has strong chemistry from page one.
  • You're looking for grimdark or morally grey characters; Mateo is fundamentally good and earnest.
  • You want standalone romance; this is book one in a series and ends with threads open for the next instalment.

About this book

Mateo Palmer has avoided serious relationships since being left at the altar, preferring to keep things casual. When Nicole Reynolds arrives at Winding Creek Ranch seeking a fresh start, he recognizes her as his former high school crush. She was always the one who got away, and now fate has given him a second chance. Nicole needs the job to support her six-year-old son and is surprised to discover her new boss is Mateo—a man she secretly admired in high school. Though she finds him charming and handsome, she believes someone like him would never want a lasting relationship with her. Mateo is determined to change her mind, while Nicole remains convinced he will eventually leave. Their story unfolds as love and a shy young boy work to reshape their future together.
