The Cowboy’s Second Chance
As president of the Lone Star Cowboy League, rancher Carson Thorn is committed to serving his community of Little Horn. But when high school sweetheart Ruby Donovan returns, his steadfast pledge is tested. Ruby left town twelve years ago—stealing money from his father and breaking Carson’s heart in her wake. Now she’s asking for his trust—just as her brother becomes Carson’s prime suspect in the rash of recent ranch thefts. Carson is torn. His town is depending on him for justice, but one look in Ruby’s eyes has him questioning everything he thought he knew—about truth, about love and about the wisdom of second chances…
“Carson, this isn’t going to happen.”
“A ride isn’t going to happen? Or dinner?”
“No, this,” she said, pointing from him to herself and back to him. “We are not going to happen.”
“Right, of course we aren’t.” He walked around her horse and was suddenly at her side. “I’m asking you to go for a ride. An hour or two of relaxation, not worrying about all the stuff piling up on us. I could use that break.”
She closed her eyes and prayed for strength. “Carson.”
When she opened her eyes he was still in front of her, his smile a little bit sweet and a little bit rakish. “Yes?”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Simple. We have unfinished business, Ruby. You left and I’ve spent a lot of years wondering why.”
“Because I wasn’t good for you,” she whispered. “We were young and making decisions that would have…”
“Changed everything?” he asked. “Because I’ve thought about that a lot over the years. My life would have been different if you’d been in it.”
“Mine, too,” she admitted.

BRENDA MINTON lives in the Ozarks with her husband, children, cats, dogs and strays. She is a pastor’s wife, Sunday school teacher, coffee addict and sleep-deprived. Not in that order. Her dream to be an author for Mills & Boon started somewhere in the pages of a romance novel about a young American woman stranded in a Spanish castle. Her dreams came true, and twenty-plus books later, she is an author hoping to inspire young girls to dream.
