Sweet Escape: Whispering Oaks Ranch, Book 1

Falling in love once is a blessing, twice is a miracle. Wilder I thought I had everything until I lost it all. Jess was my best friend, the mother of my child, and the only woman I ever saw a future with. When she died, I let the grief consume me, unable to see a way out of the depths I'd crawled into in the wake of her passing. All that was left of her was our daughter Emmy Lou and the threadbare memories I clung to for comfort. When it got harder to live without her, I decided to return home to Oak Ridge, Kentucky—to the ranch where I grew up and the family who wouldn't hesitate to help me pick up the pieces. But fate or something deeper had other plans, and on the way back, I met the sweetest distraction. Olivia Sullivan isn't for me, but now she's carrying my baby, and I can't seem to deny this innate connection that draws me to her. Olivia I never put much stock in fate or superstition until a series of unfortunate events had me boarding a flight from Colorado to Oak Ridge, by way of Nashville, and put me in the path of Wilder Hayes—the broken cowboy with the sweetest little girl, and the son of my family's biggest rivals. Our chemistry is as undeniable as the baby that binds us. But Wilder is a broken man, and his grief might be too much for us to overcome. Wilder's heart isn't mine for the taking, no matter how much I want to help him put the pieces back together. Contains mature content.
