So he fled from the ceremony, his family and Wyoming. Now a family crisis has brought Dalton back to his small hometown, giving him an opportunity to demonstrate to everyone—especially the woman he thought he lost—that he’s a changed man. Aurora “Rory” Wetzler has fallen for cowboy hottie Dalton’s smooth-talkin’ ways far too often. This time he claims he’s playing for keeps. Fine. She’ll call that bluff. She can’t ignore their intense chemistry or resist his smokin’ hot body, but she knows better than to gamble her heart with him again. Dalton has plenty of fences to mend with Rory, but his biggest fear is she doesn’t believe they have a future because of their tumultuous past. He’ll do whatever it takes to prove that he’s her one and only Romeo for a lifetime.
