The return of the rebel... Nothing has been the same for Tyson Diamond since a falling out with his adoptive father drove him from Diamondback Ranch. When he finally returns to help his cousin with the ranch he meets his father's caregiver, Clara Ferguson. His relationship style is more short-term fling than forever, but everything changes with a single kiss. His reputation should have her heading for the hills, but instead he finds the cautious beauty in his arms...and it feels surprisingly right. Starting over with a new job for the Diamond family has been a blessing, but Clara is determined to never depend on a man again-not after her abusive past. When tragedy strikes the Diamond family, she quickly realizes that beneath Ty's charming exterior is a tender and troubled heart. Is she setting herself up to be burned again by the drifter, or does she dare take a second chance on love?
