After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as.

But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?

A jaded executive needs to save a horse and ride a cowboy instead. * * * * * When a careless mistake forces Manhattan financier and champion show jumper Alejandra Barros into a posh Colorado rehab facility as a term of keeping her jet-setting job, the perfectly chiseled abs of a local cowboy might be intriguing enough to make the workaholic reassess her priorities.

Otherwise, Ali and Hank will risk losing the one thing that could truly make them happy: each other. * * * * * This book was previously published by Pocket Star/Simon and Schuster under the title: THE LAST RESORT (2017).

Es la clase de chico con el que no quieres involucrarte porque sabes, por sobre todas las cosas, que va a destrozarte. Es de la clase de hombre que guarda una cantidad aterradora de secretos lo suficientemente perturbadores como para hacer que quieras huir de él lo antes posible. Es de la clase de hombre que, pese a todo el odio y rencor acumulado que carga sobre los hombros, es capaz de hacerte tocar el cielo con un beso... Sé que no es de fiar. Sé que debo poner cuanta distancia sea posible entre él y yo porque su mundo acabará con el mío si no le pongo un punto final a lo que siento..., pero no puedo hacerlo. No puedo huir de él. No, cuando la oscuridad que vive dentro de él se disipa cuando está a mi alrededor. No, cuando lo amo del modo en el que lo hago... El ángel vino en forma de bestia y vino a salvarme. Quizás... -solo quizás- vino a acabar conmigo. » Queda rigurosamente prohibida, sin autorización escrita por parte del autor, bajo las sanciones establecidas por las leyes, la reproducción total y/o parcial, adaptación, distribución, en cualquier medio impreso y/o digital de esta obra por cualquier medio o procedimiento.
