The golden cowboy of Wrangler's Creek returns home to Texas to discover some old flames never fizzle…
There are plenty of things Garrett Granger hadn't counted on losing—his child to miscarriage, his wife to another man and the family business thanks to a crooked CFO. He also hadn't counted on moving back to the family ranch, where he's met by another surprise—former flame Nicky Marlow, who is renting his grandmother's old house.
Nicky's been rebuilding her shattered life since her husband's death two years ago. But Garrett's timely arrival in Wrangler's Creek doesn't automatically make him the missing piece of the puzzle. Even if he does seem to adore her two-year-old daughter… Even if seeing him again stirs up old feelings Nicky would gladly keep buried, forcing her to wonder if moving forward has to mean leaving everything behind…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fossen's second Wrangler's Creek contemporary (after Those Texas Nights) reunites long-parted lovers at a complicated time in their lives. When Garrett Granger finds widowed Nicky Marlow and her young daughter, Kaylee, renting his great-grandfather's old house, he wonders whether he's being punished for his past sins specifically, for dumping Nicky a month after becoming her first lover and taking up with the woman who would later marry him, cheat on him, and break his heart. Their reunion is far from peaceful, not least because it's accompanied by several members of Nicky's widows' support group (a lively, eccentric bunch whose ages span decades), a possible murder, the appearance of Garrett's ex-wife, and his mother's matchmaking efforts. There are plenty of secrets, but none juicy enough to justify Nicky's refusal to be honest with Garrett. Even after they've grown closer, she repeatedly runs from him and leaves him to be shocked by her actions, which undermines her claims that she's grown a spine. Adorable Kaylee and Nicky's feisty best friend steal the spotlight. Given the unbelievable story, readers should warm up so they're prepared to stretch their imaginations.
