📚 Book 3 of a completed 12-book series
When Billy Coburn returns to his hometown after years away, he's determined to claim what was taken from him—including Summer Blackthorne, the woman who never stopped haunting his dreams. Summer is shocked to discover that the man she thought abandoned her is actually fighting for custody of his young son, and marrying her might be his only chance at keeping the boy. What starts as a calculated arrangement reignites a passion neither of them ever truly conquered, forcing them to confront the old wounds and family feuds that nearly destroyed them once before. In a clash of two powerful Texas dynasties, Summer and Billy must decide if their second chance at love is worth battling the forces—and secrets—determined to keep them apart.

“Create a playlist called The Loner. Moody country and Americana with undercurrent of longing—think Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson. Add sultry indie-folk and folk-rock with tension. Weave in soulful R&B and slow-burn pop ballads. Capture the ache of unfinished business, the pull of fate, and the fire that never died.”
