From best-selling author Jennifer Millikin comes a heart-warming story about a single-father trying to start over, and the woman he falls for along the way.

I know you’ve heard about me.

The middle Hayden brother, the one whose wife ran off.

I’m not the short-tempered new owner of the Hayden Cattle Company, like my big brother. I’m not the wild stallion with a mystery ax to grind, like my little brother.

I’m Warner Hayden. Single-father, second-in-command of my family’s ranching dynasty, and my steady, secure world is about to get rocked by America’s sweetheart.

I’d heard Tenley Roberts was coming to our small town to film her latest movie, I just didn't think she’d be driving a 1976 Bronco. So no, I didn't know the identity of the beautiful stranger I helped on the side of the road, but I figured it out a few days later. And I haven't been the same since.

Tenley is unexpectedly funny, and complicated. I’m recently divorced, fearful of the way she makes my heart beat double-time, and gun-shy.

Despite all this, we’re too wrapped up in each other to care.

But then, things with Tenley take an unforeseen turn, and everyone assumes I’ll take my licks the way I always have.

Not this time.

Maybe I am the nice, dependable brother.

But I’m also a Hayden, born and bred.

And this bull has horns.

Author's Note: The Hayden Family series is standalone, but for maximum enjoyment, it is recommended to listen to them in order.

This was such an incredibly sweet story and I absolutely fell in love with Warner and Tinley! I loved seeing an imperfect person doing his best to raise two kids AND working towards coparenting with his ex in a healthy manner. Beautifully written and Finley is such a wonderful heroine that you absolutely want to cheer for!

Single dad cowboy? Yes please!

Oh I really enjoyed Warner and Tenley! I’m a sucker for that small town cowboy and single dad with a city girl. Their story is funny, heartfelt with real relationship issues. I love that while this still felt like fiction it bled into reality with him not wanting to initially get remarried or have more kids. It was honest and the healing process was done so well. I can’t wait for Wyatt’s story! I’m so intrigued with all the mystery surrounding him. Also these first two books have spice, but it is light, and I feel have more focus on the connection between the characters other than purely physical. I am finding that I really like that. It’s like a couple of scenes that aren’t over done or overtly long. Then some scenes that are insinuated with fade to black. I actually like that balance over both so the spice doesn’t take over as the main focus and I think it works well in these stories.

Hello single daddy cowboy!

Excellent narration. Beautiful story! There’s a third act breakup but not for something idiotic like a miscommunication. No. It’s because of true circumstances and growing up to do. It was perfect! I’m in love with the MMC and so far he’s my favorite!! Swoon!

In love!!

I crushed this in literally one day. It so beautifully covers so many important topics with such grace while maintaining the value. With a splendid mix of spice to boot. A comfort read for sure.

As good as the first
