Today's the day I was supposed to say I do. Kiss the groom, cut the cake, and dance our first dance as husband-and-wife. So much for forever. *coming Spring 2020* After a painful and public break up, Lonesome, Oregon seemed as good a place as any to lick my wounds. It's peaceful, remote, and my favorite person in the whole world lives here: my grandma. She needs help running the Sweet Escape Bed and Breakfast, and I need a place to lie low while I hide from the mess my life has become. And it appears I’m not the only one running from something painful. A gorgeous man with sad eyes has been holed up in cabin seven since he arrived. I told myself to stay away from him, but my curiosity got the better of me. If only I hadn't knocked on his door. That’s when things went downhill. That’s when things got a whole lot more complicated. I came to Lonesome to recover from a broken heart. I’m afraid I’ll be leaving with a heart more damaged than it was when I arrived.

My whole life I've known Finn Jeffries and Brady Sterling would be my undoing. The three of us were inseparable, but growing up with two boys as your best friends comes with it's own certain type of growing pains. As a child, Finn was wild and free, and grew up to be a devilishly handsome man with a smirk that frustrated me as much as it did other things to me. Brady was brave and loyal, and the kind of man he grew into didn't surprise me a bit: devoted and gallant, with a handsome, trustworthy face that made my heart beat faster. We went our separate ways for college, but now it's eight years later and a pact we made back then has brought us back to our hometown. Back to the complicated situation we ran from. Back to the love triangle we never really escaped. I love them both, and it's time for me to make a choice. I've always known one of them would be my forever, I just never knew which one. And I still don't.

I know you’ve heard about me. The middle Hayden brother, the one whose wife ran off. I’m not the short-tempered new owner of the Hayden Cattle Company, like my big brother. I’m not the wild stallion with a mystery ax to grind, like my little brother. I’m Warner Hayden. Single-father, second-in-command of my family’s ranching dynasty, and my steady, secure world is about to get rocked by America’s sweetheart. I’d heard Tenley Roberts was coming to our small town to film her latest movie, I just didn't think she’d be driving a 1976 Bronco. So, no, I didn't know the identity of the beautiful stranger I helped on the side of the road, but I figured it out a few days later. And I haven't been the same since. Tenley is unexpectedly funny, and complicated. I’m recently divorced, fearful of the way she makes my heart beat double-time, and gun-shy.Despite all this, we’re too wrapped up in each other to care.

But I’m also a Hayden, born and bred. And this bull has horns.

A Hayden. My family's legacy is spread out in front of me, just waiting for me to seize it. If it weren't for one outdated rule, I'd be the owner of the Hayden Cattle Company and my aging father could retire. When Dakota Wright shows up to buy and develop twenty acres of Hayden land, I see more than a pretty mouth and strawberry blonde hair. I see a way around the decree keeping me from getting what I want. And, as luck would have it, Dakota has a big problem of her own. We strike two deals: one for the land, and a second that'll make both our problems a distant memory. It isn't too long before I realize I'm in over my head. I've convinced myself the ends should justify the means, but everything begins to fall apart when my birthright is no longer all that I'm after. I never thought there'd be anything I could love more than my ranch and my country. I was wrong. Turns out, I want it all. Including her. *Author's note: The Hayden Family series is standalone, but starting from the first book is recommended for maximum enjoyment.
