Second Chance in Silver Creek

A Small-Town Western Romance (Grumpy Sunshine, Forced Proximity, Second Chance)

A grumpy cowboy contractor. A woman who swore she'd never come back. One farmhouse neither of them can walk away from.

Nora Callahan left Silver Creek, Montana twenty years ago and built a life that looks exactly like a success. Now her mother is gone, the farmhouse is falling apart, and the only contractor in town is the man she left behind.

Wyatt Holt didn't expect her back. He didn't expect his hands to remember her, either. Eight weeks. That's how long the renovation will take. Eight weeks of shared walls and loaded silence and the slow, unbearable discovery that twenty years changed everything except the one thing that matters.

But Nora has a life in Seattle. A career. A man who's good enough. And a box of her mother's unsent letters that will unravel every story she's told herself about why she left — and what Wyatt did the October after she was gone.

Some houses hold secrets. This one holds the truth about the love they never finished.
