Loving the Cowboy's Heart

She was looking for a new life. He'd rather be a loner. A mysterious letter brings them together.

Dakota is a single mother trying to make ends meet. When she finds herself in Smuggler's Springs, she falls in love...with the town. Not a guy. Nope. She doesn't want one of those in her life. Been there. Done that. Didn't work out so well. Instead, she's looking for simplicity. Stability.

Anyone who's ever met Tanner Ritchie steers clear of him. The guy has a rough past and is more of a wild stallion than a prancing pony. Being back home, he has the opportunity for a fresh start. Best for him to work on the ranch and focus on getting his life back in order.

That whisper of loneliness? Dakota ignores it. Tanner too. That is until he gets a letter. When Tanner shows up on Dakota's doorstep with a promise, she knows better than to trust guys like him. Especially ones who knew her ex. But for once in Tanner's life, he's determined to do the right thing...and try not to fall in love in the process.

Will Dakota get the family she's always wanted or will she walk away with a broken heart...again?
