Megan glanced at the patient chart in her hand, squinting at the tiny type. Dan Evans. Crotchety grandpa it was.
A man looked up from where he sat on the exam table. But this was no grandpa.

Lacy Williams is a USA Today bestselling author of the acclaimed Wyoming Legacy and Cowboy Fairytales series.

He’ll never be free…

Out on early parole, Dan Evans returns to the Triple H with one thing on his mind: paying back the debt he owes to the Hales. He has no room for distractions, not even pretty ones like the new doctor in town.

She’s starting over…

After a family tragedy, Megan Fuller traded her job as an ER doctor for the small-town family medicine practice. She needs to find a way to connect with the niece and nephew that she’s now responsible for. But does it have to be riding lessons? There are so many things that can go wrong…

It doesn’t take long for Dan to fall for the pretty, intelligent doctor. But what would someone like Megan ever see in him…?

Lacy Williams

Lacy Williams wishes her writing career was more like what you see on Hallmark movies: dreamy brainstorming from a French chateau or a few minutes at the computer in a million-dollar New York City penthouse. In reality, she’s up before the sun, putting words on the page before her kids wake up for the day. Those early-morning and late-night writing sessions add up, and Lacy has published fifty books in almost a decade, first with a big five publisher and then as an indie author. When she needs to refill the well, you can find Lacy birdwatching, gardening, biking with the kiddos, or walking the dog.

Short and sweet story about forgiveness and taking responsibility for your actions. My heart broke for the H. He was a good guy and I’m glad he found happiness with the h. A solid short story.

Good read. I wish there was a little more to each book. Each book is only about 10 chapters or a little more than 100 pages long. So you get a good story, but I was hoping for a little more on back stories, or maybe future? But I really did like Dan's gumption to be better!

This was a sweet story about second chances, learning that forgiveness, most importantly forgiving yourself, sets you truly free.

I enjoyed Dan and his struggles as well as Megan learning to navigate being a parent to her niece and nephew.

Sweet and short.

Lacy Williams is a new author for me and I have to say I will read her work again. I enjoyed this clean, contemporary, romantic story about an ex-felon ranch hand and small town doctor with two kids who are not her own. For a shorter story, several themes are covered here; not judging a person by their past, overcoming grief, dealing with guilt, recurring addiction, fear and forgiveness. Ms. Williams handles them well and makes them believable. This story is part of a series, but was easily read as a stand-alone.

Dan just got out of prison, and the family he stole from hires him back on their ranch. Megan was an ER Dr. but when her sister and husband were killed in an accident she took in their 2 kids. So, to have more time with them she moved to a small town and the family practice. Dan and Megan meet, and he ends up giving her and the kids riding lessons. He learns about forgiveness and she realizes that she’s doing ok with the kids, in spite of her misgivings. A really good book.

Excellent Book

The lesson of this book is on forgiveness and how it can ease your life. To often we forget about asking for forgiveness. Read this book and get a blessing as I have.This is a very good series.

Great story

A cowboy succumbed to gambling, hoping for some luck. He'd paid a price & was working to kick the desire & earn enough to pay back his debt. A good story of character restoration.

Great book!

The characters in this book. The author gives enough background and personal issues to overcome that you can relate to them. I plan to read another one of her books.

Fun read. I read it a little out of order, but it can stand alone. Williams handles well the challenges of an ex-convict.
