Trace Bennett couldn't wait for college to discover who he was apart from his brothers and proud family name. But one party and a series of poor choices sent him down a dark road and built an unsurpassable mountain in his path. Now, daunting peaks block him from the family he needs and the woman he no longer deserves.

Dakota Clark knows abandonment. In and out of foster homes. Unloved. Unwanted. Until an Osage County family adopted her. And the youngest Bennett brother swept her off her feet. They only had to survive college and nursing school on stolen weekends, holidays, and summers, then build the life they'd dreamed about.

They didn't last one night.

Three years later, dropped out, fired, and broke, Trace returns to the home he abandoned. His first night back, he comes face-to-face with the brother who still believes in him, the brother who wants to break him, and the woman who can't trust him.

When he gets roped in to helping Dakota with her new foster sister, will he keep running from who he was or stay and fight for who he could be, the love he left behind, and the grace he's forgotten exists?

Nestled in the heart of Osage County, Oklahoma, the small town of Pawhuska is surrounded by a paradise of rolling hills and the Tallgrass Prairie. If you enjoy clean, first-love, cowboy romances, then this small-town, second-chance romance is for you.
