Description
It only took eight seconds for Nate Montgomeryβs bull riding career to go from brilliant to burned out. Back in Three Rivers with no money and no prospects, he needs to regroup and build an identity for himself that doesnβt involve being thrown around by 1500lbs of fury. He finds reprieve in a familiar package of curves on the other side of the bar at the local watering hole. Sheβs tall, full-bodied, and sweet, and Nate will gladly come back for a second taste.
Single mother and perpetual girl-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks Layla Sullivan is barely holding together the life sheβs building for herself and her son. Sheβs got shift work, squeaky cupboards, a big fat secret, and no time for Nate Montgomery to come waltzing into her life, making her wish for things she canβt have. But this cowboy is as bull-headed as he is sexy, and it doesnβt take a rocket scientist to figure out that having an extra warm, handy body in her house isnβt a bad thingβespecially when it belongs to her babyβs father.
When Laylaβs family drama comes back to bite her, exposing her secret and threatening the happy little bubble theyβve created, Nate feels bound to repeat the sins of his father. But heβs never been one to give up, and this little family might be just the new life heβs looking for.
This book is a part of the Hearts of Three Rivers: The Baylors series. Each book stands alone as a complete read, but features appearances from other family members who may have their own story to tell in a different book. Amityβs stories can best be described as βsweet western heatβ, and contain open door bedroom scenes, but no frank language.
