He's a widowed cowboy with old wounds. She's a no-nonsense doctor with no room for heartbreak. Neither of them saw this coming ...
Shane Hartman spends his days running The Healing Ranch—an equine-assisted therapy center tucked in the Colorado mountains, where veterans and special needs clients find peace, connection, and purpose. It's the life he built after loss. It's the life he thought he'd live out alone.
Dr. Claire Samson didn't move to Cady Springs looking for love. A fresh start, yes—but romance? Not a chance. After her brutal divorce, she's committed to her patients, her independence, and her cat.
Then Shane walks into her ER with a shoulder injury, a cocky grin, and a presence she can't ignore.
When chance encounters keep drawing them together—from grocery store run-ins to a town-wide Cowboy Yard Sale—Claire realizes there's more to Shane than meets the eye... including his remarkable son, Luke, whose gentle spirit and unique way of seeing the world quietly capture her heart.
But their growing connection is complicated by busy lives, old grief, and the fear of opening up again. As their attraction deepens into something neither expected, they'll have to decide if love later in life is worth the risk.
A heartfelt, later-in-life romance filled with emotional depth, slow-burning passion, and the healing power of second chances.
