A wounded Army cowboy, a divorcée with a child, and their second chance to heal old hurts...

After an injury ends his time in the Army, Squire Ackerman returns to his family's ranch in Three Rivers to manage it.

Kelly Armstrong, a recently divorced single mother, has come to interview for an accountant position at the ranch. Squire and Kelly have a history together, as Squire asked her to the prom years ago and never got an answer. He still harbors feelings for her but is determined to maintain distance to protect himself from getting hurt again.

Once Kelly is hired at the ranch, her presence brings back too many good memories, and Squire finds himself longing for the connection they once had. As they spend more time together, Squire tries to keep his emotions in check and maintain control over their interactions. His military training helps him keep a stoic façade, but the more time he spends with her, the harder it is for him to ignore his feelings for Kelly.

As Squire and Kelly work to save the ranch and navigate their complicated relationship, can they also give love a second chance, follow God’s plan for them, and build a family out of heartache?

This is a brand-new, enhanced and expanded, 8th Anniversary Edition of SECOND CHANCE RANCH! It’s been expanded by over 30,000 words to bring in the beloved characters at Shiloh Ridge Ranch, expand the family saga, and provide even more swoon-worthy romance scenes between Squire and Kelly.
