He came home to rehab a busted knee . . . not to fall in love. Folks think she’s fragile, but she’s got trouble and a cowboy on her doorstep and they’re about to find out just how strong she is.
Reno Steele has spent three years running from the courtroom that nearly broke him. Now he’s back in Cobbler Cove, Montana, his knee’s held together with a brace and sheer stubbornness, and his whole future is on the line. The plan is simple: heal up and get back to the rodeo circuit as soon as possible.
Then he walks into Buns & Roses for a cinnamon roll, and Grace O’Donnell looks up from behind the counter. Grace is the kind of beautiful that knocks a man two steps back. She’s also a widow with a four-year-old daughter, a bakery full of wedding orders, and an intruder leaving ugly surprises inside her locked bakery in the middle of the night. She’s fine, thank you. She’s been fine for five years. She does not need a busted up cowboy to come to her rescue.
But somebody’s stalking her. And the more time Reno spends near Grace and her fierce little girl, the harder it becomes to walk away or to keep hiding the man he used to be before he gave up expensive suits for clown make-up and bulls—or more accurately, two-thousand-pounds of ornery and rage determined to flatten him.
When the past catches up to them both, Grace and Reno must decide if the cost of trusting again is too high. Do they have the courage to reach for happily ever after again?
