Publisher Description
A single mom struggling to raise her rebellious son finds unexpected support in a kind-hearted cowboy in this spicy romance from the author of Seeing Red and Change of Hart.
She’s afraid she’s not enough. He’ll make damn sure she knows she is.
Single mom Whitney Hart is, quite simply, overwhelmed. She’s struggling to raise her ten-year-old son, Jonas. Her ex-boyfriend only seems to come around and help take care of his son when he’s single and hoping to get back together. With Jonas acting out more than ever, Whit realizes she needs help keeping an eye on him over summer vacation.
Enter Colt, a fun-loving cowboy who is tasked with giving Jonas work to do around Wells Ranch to keep him busy. In Colt, Jonas finds a mentor and male role model for the first time in his life. And in Jonas, Colt discovers a friendship that brings a new kind of joy into his life.
Colt and Whit slowly develop a friendship of their own through a shared concern for Jonas, and over the course of the summer, it begins to spark into something more. The attraction and chemistry between them are hard to ignore, but Whit’s insecurities and hesitancy to trust men cause her to pull away.
As miscommunications give way to understanding, the two will discover that sometimes you have to first be broken before you can become whole, and that there’s no one way to create a family.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hannah's sensual fourth Wells Ranch contemporary (after Change of Hart) finds single working mother Whitney "Whit" Hart, 28, struggling to raise her 10-year-old son, Jonas. She faces judgment from small-town gossips, guilt trips from her parents, and her own self-doubt as her parenting duties often overwhelm her—especially when Jonas starts acting out in response to preteen angst and schoolyard bullying. After a tough school year marked by Jonas's misbehavior and the threat of expulsion, Whit takes her sister's advice and signs Jonas up to volunteer at local Wells Ranch. Colt, a ranch hand, quickly becomes Jonas's mentor, forming a strong bond with both him and his beautiful mother. Despite some early miscommunication, Colt and Whit soon enter into a passionate affair, both helping the other to move on from painful pasts. The plentiful steamy scenes are balanced by the light, cozy plot and emotionally nuanced exploration of Whit and Jonas's relationship. Cowboy romance fans will eat this up.
