A single dad Western romance from New York Times bestselling author Donna Alward

Lacey Duggan’s plan was simple: return to Crooked Valley, sort out her share of the ranch, and leave. But she didn’t count on the ranch’s guarded manager, Quinn Solomon, making her feel like an unwanted guest. And she certainly didn’t count on his adorable daughter melting the walls around her heart.

Widowed single dad Quinn has his life in order. He’s focused on his daughter and the ranch—there’s no room for complications, especially not a city girl who knows nothing about Montana life. Yet, Lacey’s unexpected warmth is bringing light back to his world. With her head telling her to go and her heart begging her to stay, Lacey must decide where she truly belongs. Can a woman who’s just passing through and a man who’s sworn off love find a future together?
