He's come back to Copper Ridge, Oregon to keep a promise – even if it means losing his heart...
Putting down roots in Copper Ridge was never Alex Donnelly's intention. But if there's one thing the ex–military man knows, it's that life rarely unfolds as expected. If it did, his best friend and brother–in–arms would still be alive. And Alex wouldn't have inherited a ranch or responsibility for his late comrade's sister – a woman who, despite her inexperience, can bring tough–as–iron Alex to his knees.
Clara Campbell didn't ask for a hero to ride in and fix her ranch and her life. All she wants is the one thing stubborn, honourable Alex is reluctant to give: a chance to explore their intense chemistry. But Clara has a few lessons to teach him too...about trusting his heart and his instincts, and letting love take him on the wildest adventure of all.
