Michael Bentley-James had life all figured out.Great career, big house, a beautiful wife, and an adorable daughter, in the best city in North America.

Hawkin Spring, Texas, is a far cry from the city life he had traded it all for.The family ranch was never his plan, but neither was raising his daughter alone. It wasn’t city living, but it was uncomplicated, and Michael loved that. No time for dating, no interest in falling in love ever again, and absolutely no room for another woman in his life.Then, suddenly thrust upon him by his meddling mother, she arrived…Penny Lane needed a fresh start. With her divorce finally signed, sealed and delivered, she was ready to break free of the humdrum, glum place she no longerfelt was home.

Which is a relief since they’re the only good qualities he possesses.But Penny is determined to stick things out, no matter how difficult the gorgeous, callous cowboy may make it for her.
