What starts as a no-strings, friends-with-benefits arrangement soon becomes something deeper. And when her past threatens to destroy the peace she's found, Daniel's the only man strong enough to stand beside her.A small-town, single-mom, healing romance with a protective cowboy, slow-burn heat that turns molten, and a heroine rediscovering her strength—and her pleasure.
