Ex-military, ex-cowboy, ex-con… Caden Murphy has made his mark, and not always in a good way. Helping overworked Stacy Tedford with repairs to her family’s cabin rentals is one way to make amends—for now. Once Stacy knows the truth about his past, he’ll have to move on.

From Harlequin Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.
LeAnne Bristow may have been born and raised in central Texas, but she’s a desert rat at heart. She calls southeastern Arizona home, even though her husband wouldn’t let her claim the title Arizonan until she’d officially lived in Arizona longer than Texas. It only took twenty years. When she’s not arguing with the characters in her head, she enjoys hunting, camping and fishing with her family. Her day job is a reading specialist, but now that her three kids are grown, she’s determined to teach her grandchildren how to catch lizards and love the desert as much as she does.
I really liked how this seemed like a more realistic romance than others I've read. It was layered with not only the central love story of Sabrina and Tony, but brought subplots of their son, Tony's work, Sabrina's work, extended family, and their search for their purpose. I would read more from this author.
Caden Murphy's guilt forces him to confront the woman he thought was the young man's love who lost his life in a drunken car accident when Caden was driving. He goes to jail for 7 years and now is out. But can he bring himself to tell Stacy Tedford why he shows up in Colorado, Arizona, and offers to help her run the camp and market that is her family's legacy?
Stacy has her own problems, not least of which is her mother's impending death from Huntington's disease and the debts she has inherited when her uncle succumbs to alcoholism. It seems unimaginable that those debts will outlive her mother's life, but she needs help and Caden's offer is a lifesaver. But will it also heal her heart as well as his own?
I do hope this tale is the start of an entrancing new series. There are just so many interesting characters in this story.

I loved everything about this. It was clean it was heartwarming. I was given a Large print book of this and asked for an honest review.
I loved the family part of it it was realistic and believable. I could not put this book down as I wanted to know what happened next. I can’t wait to read more if her books. LeAnne sure knows how to write.
This book came to me at just the right time. I highly recommend it if you want a no violence or drama book.
Super fun read. I definitely wanted to keep turning pages in this small town story with great characters. I loved both Caden and Stacy, although Stacy's stubbornness got on my nerves. I really enjoyed seeing these two get their HEA, and mostly seeing Caden's story of redemption. A quality read, the author has a great style and I'd read more of her work.
Sabrina and Tony fell in love too early, ran into too many problems, and made too many mistakes, sending them thier separate ways. Now they're both back in their hometown, Sabrina to get help for her at-risk son and Tony to recover after being shot trying to save a teenager from gangs. When they run into one another it's clear the attraction is still there, but Sabrina has a secret. The more she's around Tony, the more likely her secret will come out. And, just to complicate things, they're both involved with a nearby foster home, where there are hints of illicit activites that might put Tony into danger once again.
I really enjoyed these two characters as they explored their past and owned up to their mistakes. The small-town setting and secondary characters were quite well done as well. If you enjoy second-chance romance as much as I do, you'll love this story.
Really enjoyed this book. Caden had been punishing himself for the accidental death of his best friend and Stacia refused to forgive anyone for anything. Together they worked thru all their issues
