A widow. A jaded man. And a partnership that could open the door to love... If only they could walk through it.
Emma Rae Jordan is in dire need of help. To assuage the guilt for abandoning her late husband and his ranch while taking care of her dying mom, she desperately needs to make the dismal ranch profitable. Maybe nothing can save it, but her best chance is her husband's friend. Except he refuses to partner with her. But this is too important to give up.
Morgan Caruthers has closed off family and friends since his botched wedding. Partnering with his late friend's wife is not even a choice. He agrees to talk to her, with one intention: advise her to sell. Once he sees the ranch he built with his friend and Emma's stubborn determination, he's sucked into helping her. If he doesn't, she'll find someone else, maybe not so honest. Once committed, he wants to see the ranch flourish again. His fate is sealed by Emma's little girl stealing Morgan's heart.
As they work to overcome the continuing obstacles, they become a well oiled team. Can their growing attraction be a second chance at love for both of them?
