A Second Chance in Bent Creek (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988550914)

He broke her heart. Now he's back in town. Bent Creek will never be the same . . .

Larkin

Nick Harker left me without a word eleven years ago when his family fell apart.

And now he's back. He says he's here to help his brother buy back the ranch their family lost when his dad went to prison. But I know what he really wants.

He wants the one thing he can never have--a second chance with me.

I won't let Nick disappoint me again. Especially now that I have a son to think of.

But Nick keeps doing everything right, so when I start getting anonymous texts hinting that he's keeping secrets from me, I don't want to believe them.

Even when the texts grow more threatening.

Nick

I swore I'd never come back to Bent Creek. This town and the Nobles took everything from me.

But my brother needs help, and he's the one person I won't let down. Even though his mission to buy back the ranch is a terrible idea, I won't leave town until I make him see sense about Marybeth Noble and the danger he's in with her.

The one thing I didn't count on was falling for Larkin again. One look at her, and I can't leave.

I don't deserve to have her back, but I refuse to let anyone hurt her again.

No matter what this town thinks of me and my family, I'll protect Larkin and her son.

Marybeth

Gabe and I are happy. All of the bad blood between our families is in the past--and that's where it should stay. But Nick doesn't trust me.

Which is fine. After all, I don't know if I trust him not to break Larkin's heart all over again. My best friend was devastated when he left, and I'll be the one to pick up the pieces when it happens again.

Nick might never forgive my family, but all I want is to move on with Gabe and run my shop in peace.

Until Nick drops a secret that I never expected.

With Nick Harker back in town, Bent Creek will never be the same.

This is a story of family, romance, and friendship told through 3 viewpoints--Larkin, Marybeth, and Nick. If you love cowboys, Yellowstone-style drama, big families, small western towns filled with secrets, and sweet romance with a touch of suspense, this book is for you!

A Second Chance in Bent Creek is the first full-length book in the Harker Brothers Ranch series. For Marybeth and Gabe's story, be sure to check out the prequel novella, A Bent Creek Christmas.
