He came back to help his brothers—but he discovered a secret baby and a chance at love.
Maverick
I never intended to come back to Bent Creek. There was nothing for me there, and I refused to let Flannery Jacobs reject me again. But I can't say no to my brothers when they need my help.
It's not long before I run into Flannery, but something's changed. She has a daughter—one who would be the right age from the only other time I was in town. The time that Flannery let me know, in no uncertain terms, that it would never work between us.
I just want to do the right thing. I want to be a dad. But I can't fall for Flannery again, and the danger coming to Bent Creek is something that's out of my control.
I won't rest until my family—all of my family—is safe, and Flannery and I can raise our daughter on the same land where I grew up.
Flannery
Letting Maverick Harker into my life almost two years ago was a huge mistake. It broke my heart to reject him, and I see his face every time I look at our daughter. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision.
But now he's back, and I have to confess the truth to him. His reaction is a surprise—he wants to help, to be a part of our daughter's life.
And mine.
Maverick's family needs him, and all I want to do is make up for everything I did wrong. But first I have to forgive myself for the past.
When I receive something entirely unexpected, I make a decision I never thought would change everything for Mav and his brothers.
Marybeth
My brother Luke shut me out when I got together with Gabe. I told myself it didn't matter. I may have lost the family I was born into, but I'd gained family with the Harkers.
Now there are men in town who want answers, and the only way to keep the past from destroying Bent Creek is for our two families to work together.
To my surprise, Luke agrees.
I just hope it works before this town ignites in the tensions that have been simmering for years.
Come home to Bent Creek . . . A small town in Montana where everyone knows everyone, and secrets live in the shadows of the mountains. One by one, the Harker brothers return home to reclaim their ranch, face their family's past troubles with the Nobles, and find love. If you love cowboys, Yellowstone-style family drama, small western towns filled with secrets, and sweet romance with a touch of suspense, this book is for you!
