Recently widowed, travel writer Silvia is back in town temporarily to heal from the loss of her family. Despite their tumultuous past, Silvia agrees to help Pierce save his ranch, and soon, old feelings ignite once more. But after so much loss, can they overcome their grief for a second chance at a future together?

Rebuilding His Trust - Jenna Mindel

Their surprising connection could be the key to a second chance.

Jace Moore has been afraid to love since losing his parents as a teen. But when he meets equine therapist Meredith Lewis and her horse Bella, something shifts inside him. Soon constructing her indoor riding arena turns into volunteering with her therapy program just to spend more time with them. Initially wary of Jace’s charming ways, Meredith can’t deny her attraction to the off-limits builder, especially when he shows such kindness to one of her young clients. But as sessions with the animals — and Meredith — begin to heal Jace’s closed-off heart, can he convince her that love is worth the risk?
