Rhett Braddock swore to himself that he'd never return to Silverlake. But when the opportunity arises to buy a piece of his lost, happier youth, he's drawn to the community⁠—and the family⁠—he once loved. Mending fences might not be as hard as he thought⁠—until he ends up in bed with his best friend's sister. Julie Riggs is over Rhett Braddock. So what if he's a dreamboat Dallas millionaire? His less than flattering dash the morning after their hot, steamy night together made it clear he wants nothing to do with her. Besides, she has her horses and the Riggs stables to save. But when Rhett buys the Riggs property as a favor to her brother, the temptation is more than Julie can resist.
