Falling out of love with Colby Ryan wasn't working...
There hasn't been a woman who's held Colby Ryan's heart for long, not since his teenage love went awry twelve years ago. Now, all of a sudden, Dakota Jennings, his longtime family friend and trusted wrangler on the Circle R ranch, is catching his eye. For Dakotaโs sake, Colby won't ever give in to the temptation she poses.
Dakota has been secretly in love with Colby since the age of ten, but his sense of honor and the Texas code he lives by wonโt allow her permanence in his heart. Up until this point, heโd never hinted at romance between them and yet, falling out of love with him just plain isnโt working.
Colby has always protected Dakota, and he isnโt about to stop now. If he gives in to his desire, she stands to lose far too much. Colby doesnโt deserve her love, he's already ruined one life, but the binds that tie them are strong. Can Dakota be the woman to redeem his broken soul?
