The Hometown Heroes Series, Book 7
ISBN: 978-1-944258-45-0
When Hank Judd closes his real estate business and takes his turn at managing the Florida ranch his family has cherished for generations, he seizes one last chance to reconnect with the daughter he barely knows. Desperate to bridge the gap with ten-year-old Noel, Hank encounters unexpected resistance. For help, he reluctantly turns to the one person he’d sworn to keep his distance from—his high school sweetheart, Kelly Tompkins.
Kelly has recently returned to town to care for her ailing grandfather and, as his medical bills pile up, she proposes a mutually beneficial deal: Hank will use his expertise to sell her grandfather’s ranch, providing the funds she needs for his care. In return, Kelly will help Hank connect with his withdrawn daughter. Both intend to go their separate ways once the deal is done, but long-buried feelings bubble to the surface as the handsome cowboy works with the woman who has swapped her braids and freckles for a suave sophistication that fits her curves as snugly as her jeans.
However, when Kelly changes her mind about selling her family’s ranch, it strains her rekindled romance with Hank. This time it looks like the break-up will be permanent … until a family crisis forces the Glades County cowboy to choose between his business and his favorite cowgirl.
About The Hometown Heroes Series:
Ten years ago, a group of young men formed lasting friendships during a weekend cattle drive on the Circle P Ranch. Now doctors and lawyers, ranchers, rodeo stars and professional baseball players, they recall the lessons learned on that trip as they save lives and win hearts wherever these Hometown Heroes go.
