Three years after walking away from the love of her life, Charlotte finds herself a single mom, helping to run her family’s ranch. But she’s not truly happy. Cowboy Wilder has been rebuilding since destroying his life in grief, and letting Charlotte slip through his fingers. When he’s presented with a second chance, he’s determined not to waste it.

I’ve been waiting for the conclusion of this story with bated breath. The first book ended on such a cliffhanger that it lived rent-free in my mind for weeks. Charlotte is such an incredible character. She has every right to be bitter and angry, but she chooses the path of kindness and forgiveness, because at her core that’s just who she is. Wilder is fighting his demons to be the man she deserves, and now that he knows he’s a father, the dad his little girl needs. There’s a ton of messy baggage between Charlotte and Wilder, and while they knew each other before, they’re essentially strangers now. Watching them come together and building something stronger was a pleasure to read, and I look forward to revisiting this story again.
