Calvin
After a cheating wife and a failed marriage, now I can live for myself.
I walked away from that train wreck, leaving the lavish lifestyle of an oil tycoon billionaire far behind me.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t walk away penniless… far from it, but returning to my roots as a rancher in Texas has set my country boy spirit free. Now, an honest day’s work is done with my hands—not sitting in a boardroom.
Finally, I’m free from the havoc and pressure of city life, the high expectations—and a treacherous woman with no scruples.
I love the clean Texan air and wide-open spaces, and although I miss the sensual touch of a good woman, God knows I’m not looking for love anytime soon after my last encounter.
Until now.
Until Lainey blows into town and intrigue sets in for the smart, sassy city girl.
I’m playing it cool, just a regular cowboy now. But can she handle the truth when she discovers my past?
Lainey
You can take the girl out of the city, but you’ll never take the city out of this girl.
Moving from the bustling NYC streets to the back country farmland of Texas is not what I planned or wanted… not at all.
Dirt, dust, horses, smells—no thank you.
Until a hot hunk of a cowboy with fast, rough hands sweeps me right out of my new boots and has me saddled up for a rough ride with him in a flash.
But it turns out that as well as those steel-blue eyes, he has hidden secrets under that ten-gallon hat.
He’s a whole lot more than the man I met. I just have to decide whether I can live with that.
