He's come back to Copper Ridge, Oregon, to keep a promise—even if it means losing his heart…
Putting down roots in Copper Ridge was never Alex Donnelly's intention. But if there's one thing the ex-military man knows, it's that life rarely unfolds as expected. If it did, his best friend and brother-in-arms would still be alive. And Alex wouldn't have inherited a ranch or responsibility for his late comrade's sister—a woman who, despite her inexperience, can bring tough-as-iron Alex to his knees.
Clara Campbell didn't ask for a hero to ride in and fix her ranch and her life. All she wants is the one thing stubborn, honorable Alex is reluctant to give: a chance to explore their intense chemistry. But Clara has a few lessons to teach him, too…about trusting his heart and his instincts, and letting love take him on the wildest adventure of all.
Always fun to re-visit the Donnelly family in Copper Ridge! With this book, Maisey Yates brings us Alex’s story. He’s haunted by his past, but is determined to keep his promise to his late Army buddy and get his sister set up to prosper in the future. I liked Clara and admired her spirit after all she had lost. I enjoyed Alex, but had a little harder time connecting with him than I did with his brother’s in the past. Not my favorite in the series, but a fun read none-the-less.
Alex Donnelly never planned on putting down roots, but circumstances change on the dime in life, and he finds himself not only working with his brothers on the family ranch, but also taking over at his buddy’s family ranch for a short time to get his little sister settled.
Clara Campbell can’t believe her brother sent a keeper to take charge of her life. She doesn’t need anyone to make her face the things she’s burying her head in the sand about … but after spending some time with Alex, she wouldn’t mind him helping her do other things! Can she convince him that he’s just the one to help her enjoy life a little more?
