About This Book
When Harlan Young left Grace Townsend behind, he told himself it was the only choice he had. Now he's back in Montana, working with veterans at the Resting Warrior Ranch, and she's right there—close enough to remind him exactly what he gave up. What starts as a chance at redemption quickly becomes something far more complicated: a fake marriage, a land fight with real teeth, and danger that won't wait for them to sort out their feelings. This is a second-chance romance with genuine stakes on both sides—the emotional kind that cuts deep, and the physical kind that keeps the pages turning.
Jade and Crouch write with a warm, unhurried confidence that lets tension build naturally without rushing past the moments that matter. The Montana setting does real work here—it's not just backdrop but character, shaping the story's mood and the people in it. The balance between action and emotional reckoning is handled with care, and the slow rebuild of trust between two people carrying old wounds feels earned rather than convenient. Readers who want their romance to have weight will find it here.
