Montgavin Township is full of stolen moments and second chances ...

Lilah

I was left for dead when I was eighteen.

Coming to Mustang Creek Ranch gave me something to live for.

My boss is grumpy and reclusive. But I'm secretly in love with him, even though he's made it known he'll never settle down. Even though he's made it clear, he'll never be mine—or anyone's.

I've kept my distance from Lilah for years. No matter how much I want her, she's off-limits. The only family I'll ever have are the ones I fought beside in battle—the family I chose.

Until the phone rang and I found out I had an eight-year-old daughter.

Watching Lilah with my daughter makes me wonder what it would be like to do the thing Iswore I never would: have a family and fall in love.

When I move her into my house to keep her safe from the dangers of her past, all bets are off.
