Book 1 of the Gardner Ranch Series
Jack Cooper wants to escape a memory that haunts him. One of a terrible accident from his reckless youth.
Except to save his ranching career he’s forced to ask for help. Help from the very last people he ever wanted to meet again—the family whose son he injured and scarred for life.
Now he must keep his role in the accident a secret from them. But the family’s eldest daughter, Grace–one of the only witnesses to her brother’s accident–could complicate that.
She’s just as fiery and smart as when he knew her as a teen, and even more beautiful. Spending time with her makes Jack consider for the first time in his life what love could be like.
If her family discovers that it was him who injured her brother, the legal ramifications wouldn’t be the worst of it.
The worst is knowing that Grace would be out of his reach forever. Because if Jack can never forgive himself for his wild past, how could her family? How could Grace?
