Wild Card

Six years ago, Shane Nelson shattered my heart in front of half the town.Now I'm back in the idyllic hamlet of North Ridge where everyone knows your name, hoping if I keep my head down and tend to my ailing mother, the past won't catch up to me.But Shane's everywhere I look.He's the rugged foreman of Ravenswood Ranch now—all work-rough hands, amber eyes, and that slow cowboy drawl that used to make me weak in the knees. He still looks at me like I'm the only woman in the world, even though he's the one who told me I meant nothing to him.It shouldn't matter anymore--I came home to save my mother, not to fall back into bed with the man who destroyed me.But Shane remembers things differently than I do.He says there are things I don't know. Secrets that changed everything. He says he never stopped loving me—that he's been dying without me for six years.I say he's a liar and a coward.He says he'll prove me wrong.Wild Card is a second-chance, small-town cowboy romance about the love that survives even when everything else burns down.SPECIAL NOTE: This series was previously published in 2017 where each book became instant USA Today bestsellers!
