You’ll ache and swoon over Clayton and Hope’s second chance romance! Clayton may be a lone wolf due to his father’s treatment where he was never good enough, but he does know how to run Kingsland Ranch and deal with the prey on a ranch. Hope has high goals for her vet clinic thanks to the upcoming gala, but working with Clayton to make it happen opens a can of worms that can’t be forgotten. Will the two work through their past to find their happily ever after? You have to read to find out!

Wonderful story with plenty of drama and a few twists that help tell the story. Great characters to follow along on this journey. Romance is sometimes hiding around the corner and is quite unexpected. Good read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book was really the perfect way to close out this series. Clay and Hope's second chance at love gave me plenty of feels and tugged mightily on my heartstrings. Drama, emotion, heat and heart are a powerful combo that hits hard.
