The Rancher's Reason

By Rachel Blanchard

Succumbing to her younger sister's pleas for more school volunteer hours, chorus teacher and single mom Willow Hutchins does the one thing she swore she'd never do-steps foot on the Missouri ranch run by her high school sweetheart, Ace Sterling. As Ace invests in her sister, Willow is roped into using her creative talents to save Ace's ranch from financial disaster. But the more time they spend together, the more danger Willow is in of Ace discovering her biggest secret. He's the father of her three-year-old daughter.

Ace wonders if he can keep his passion project alive after repeated sabotage attempts from a local developer, plus an ever-growing pile of bills. Even more confusing is the woman who once pushed him away entering his life again. Can he trust himself to be near to Willow, for the horses' sake? Or will Ace's last remaining dream burn up in smoke?
