Second Chance Ranch Release!

Today’s release day for Second Chance Ranch & it’s .99 for a limited time! Considering I grew up on a cattle ranch, this book really took me back to my roots. It made me think of those days when everyone in town knew what was going on, even if you’d rather they not, and all the cowboys I knew, from my uncles, both of my grandpas, my dad, and several of the guys I went to school with. It also reminded me of those days when my family and I would work together on the ranch.

So that I could help feed the cows in the field while my dad shoved hay out of the back of the truck, I learned to drive about the time I could reach the wheel while kneeling (the pedals were unnecessary when the truck was in low & moved at about 2 miles an hour). My sister would often come, and she was so sure I was going to drive into the ditch that she’d sometimes shut off the truck. When I could reach the pedals, I once popped the clutch so hard, I dumped my dad off the back. Oopsie!

There was a day my sister and I were tasked to put some of the crooked bales in straight lines so the hauler (a tractor that picks up the bales and loads them so that you can put them into a hay stack) could pick them up easier. Naturally, we decided this would be the perfect time to tan our legs. That was the day we discovered that shorts and scratchy hay don’t really mix. We ended up with more scrapes than color. But we also laughed a lot and made up some killer dance movies. It’s easy to dance like no one’s watching when literally no one is.

I’m also probably one of the few people who learned how to play poker in school, thanks to the guys in my class. We played for Mountain Dews, because we all drank several a day & had to support our habit somehow! Sometimes we played during Spanish class (this might explain why I mostly know the swear words & thinking things like yo necesito una mas ocho!) and sometimes it was a good way to kill time between checking cows. I really loved growing up where I did, and I wouldn’t change it for anything!

So here’s the pretty cover & a little more about Second Chance Ranch!

Sometimes love is right where you left it.

Sadie Hart has a plan: return to her small town of Hope Springs so she can regain her confidence—and bank account—before giving one more shot to her country music dream. The dream that means more to her than anything. The dream she chose over her high school sweetheart, the brooding and sinfully handsome Royce Dixon.

Royce has moved on from his memories of the beautiful Sadie. Now he’s focused solely on running Second Chance Ranch, where he rehabilitates troubled teens through ranch work. But when he needs a new employee and Sadie’s the only one to volunteer, he has no choice but to offer his old flame a job.

Whether riding a horse with the wind in her hair or mucking out the stalls, Sadie can still get Royce’s heart beating like no one else. But Nashville is her dream, and Royce can’t settle for second best.
