He’s a grumpy single dad. She’s the one who got away. They haven’t seen one another in years, and now they’re stuck in a hotel room together. And there’s only one bed.

I’ve loved her from the first moment I saw her.
And I’ve loved her every day since.
Whether we’re together or we’re apart—that hasn’t changed.
Which is saying a lot considering I don’t like most people.
But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways.
Life, family, jealousy—we let it all get in the way.
I’m a dad now, and my little girl is my world.
And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood Cove.
I don’t believe in fairytales or second chances.
My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications.
Presley Duncan is a giant complication.
A wise man would keep his distance.
But I never claimed to be a wise man.
So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm.
Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed.
Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances.
And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me.
Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone.
But I know this is temporary.
She’ll be leaving soon, and I’m prepared to let her go.
Until she’s gone.
And I realize that I’m not prepared at all for life after the storm.

Beautifully written, deep character development, performance that sucked me right in and had me escaping my own life immersed in the story. Jacob Morgan had a genius performance. I fell in love with the character Cage and wanted to move in with him and his daughter. The kid voice was outstanding. The banter on the text messages was so funny!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Loved Story! Loved Jacob Morgan

Great on Audio! 🎧
As always with any book Laura writes, dropped everything to read this one. This book was just so good! I loved the romance, the small town family dynamics Laura writes so dang well, and the appearance of all the couples from this series and Honey Mountain. I had waited for Cage’s book since book one and it did not disappoint! This was a great book to wrap the series up! Can’t wait for the next series!

Grumpy, Single Dad, Second Chance Romance, With A Sweet Little Girl and a Pig. A Perfect End to the Series!

This is the best one in the series no doubt about it. Only one that had me bawling and up till 2am listening to it. Cage and Presley had the sweetest story. It was just amazingly written, hilarious, sweet, sexy and sad. It killed me and I loved it so much.
