Synopsis

A Steamy Small-Town Second-Chance Romance
By Elle York

Years ago, Laney Shaw left Bennett Ridge with nothing but a broken heart—and a secret growing inside her. One unforgettable night with Cole Bennett changed everything, but when he never followed, she ran. Now, she’s back in the rugged heart of Colorado to care for her ailing father… and to face the past she’s kept hidden far too long.

Cole Bennett, once a celebrated rodeo star, now lives a quieter life working the land his family has owned for generations. He’s traded fame for fences, spotlight for solitude. But when Laney shows up again—fierce, gorgeous, and harboring the kind of truth that shakes a man’s foundation—his world turns upside down.

Her son, Wyatt, is smart, kind… and the spitting image of the cowboy she left behind.

As old sparks reignite and the line between anger and longing blurs, Cole must decide if he can forgive the woman who kept his son from him. Laney must choose between protecting the walls around her heart or giving her son the family he deserves. In a town full of ranch gossip, slow dances, and second chances, secrets don’t stay buried forever.

And some love stories were never meant to be tamed.
