About this ebook

Get ready to fall hard for the mysterious Seeley “Doc” Whiskey and the one woman he never thought would walk back into his life, in this sexy and emotional second-chance standalone romance. The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch is a small-town, big-family series of standalone romance novels featuring fiercely loyal, insanely sexy bikers who give horses—and people—a second chance. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and a happily ever after that will leave you breathless. 

First loves that were ripped apart, and the epic love that saves them.

At nineteen, Seeley “Doc” Whiskey fell hard for the governor’s daughter, and then she was torn away. He risked his life and his family’s legacy to get her back, only to find out that everything he believed about her was a lie. His heart has been locked down ever since.

 

Betrayed by everyone she loves, Juliette Chambers has been through hell and back. Now a single mother and veterinarian, Juliette moves back to Colorado to start over. The last person she expects to run into is the man who completely destroyed her.

 

A chance encounter turns into a moment of fury, sending them into an emotional maelstrom. Tears and accusations fly and passion ignites, but in their wake they discover a trail of secrets and lies and a life-changing blow that takes them to their knees.

Ratings and reviews

Well have a box of kleenex, you will need it for this one!!! at 19 and 16 Doc and Juliette met on Redemption ranch, they fell hard, and fast. Then her father came and took her. The title says a lot about what comes in this book, and why 16 years later Doc finds out the truth. But even having the love of his life does not stop the rollercoaster!! You will love Lucas and Juliette, and see how deep love can be.

OH MY HEART! I laughed, I cried, and I cheered. Such a rollercoaster of emotions. There were a couple of times that I had tears streaming down my face. There were feel-good moments that made up for those difficult ones, and then some. If I hadn’t already loved the Redemption Ranch Whiskeys before, this would have done it. I love them all the more now.

This book has all of Melissa Foster's signature writing style and it has a lot to offer from how to forgive to how to move forward with love and lies that Seeley (Doc) and Juliette have had to endure before they get their second chance. And second chance is one of my most favorite tropes. Adding a secret baby into the mix make the book more chef kiss for me. The story is also heartwarming with small town and big close-knit family and friends vibes which make the book enjoyable to read.
