The Cowboy's Choice

Is the second time the charm?

Adam's past walks through the church doors, and he falls in love for the first time all over again. After leaving Lara for college to follow his dream in a prestigious trauma surgery program, he had no idea that the consequences of his departure would cause Lara such pain. Somehow, he must make her see that he's a changed man. Yet, he hasn't lived the life of a monk. When his history comes knocking will it be the last straw for Lara?

Lara Cole has a desperate secret, and the last person she can share it with is handsome Adam Govain, her first love. Her father has died and now, thirteen years later, Adam makes it plain that he wants what her heart can no longer give—she's been broken too long. His tender advances only bring back her guilt and the agony of her past. Yet, deep down, she fears the only way to happiness is to open that locked door in her heart. Will Lara shove her anguish back in its black hole or will she find the courage to face it at last?
