Marriage and children are way too risky for wealthy cowboy James MacLachlan. After his mom died giving birth and witnessing how true love—or the loss of it—destroyed his father’s life, love isn’t in the cards for James. He’ll stick to running his massive family ranch and starting an equine therapy program for special needs children...

After a few disastrous romances, nomadic photographer Reese Turner has sworn off dating to focus on her career. Now she’s returned to Cypress Creek, Texas, on assignment for her dream job and to buy back her grandparents’ cottage. What she doesn’t need is to run into her ex, James MacLachlan…or feel the spark of attraction all over again.

Reese isn’t ready for commitment, settling down, or giving up on her professional dreams. And James is about as land-locked as a cowboy can get. And while this chance to rekindle their old flame might be another shot at love…it could also be one last chance for heartbreak.
