Another winner! Ty is a sexy cowboy with daddy issues who left home abruptly eight years ago. He returns only after learning of his father's stroke, however, because of how he left, he is not welcomed back by anyone except for Lainey, the proprietress of the local diner. She is kind to Ty and they become friends without benefits. With the backstory of all the people angry with Ty and protective of Lainey, this is an engaging tale that kept me hooked - I literally read it in one sitting.

This is a must read for fans of the genre. The author is on my must read authors' list.
