Publisher's Summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries series…

A second chance at first love

Years before, Wade Rycroft fell in love with Geneva Harris, the smartest girl in his class. The rodeo star and the shy academic made for an odd pair but their chemistry was undeniable. They made plans to get married after high school but when Genny left him standing in the rain, he joined the Army and vowed to leave that life behind. Genny married the town’s golden boy, and Wade knew that he couldn’t go home again.

Could become the promise of a lifetime

Fifteen years later, Wade returns to his Texas hometown for his brother’s wedding and walks into a storm of scandal. Genny’s marriage has dissolved and the town has turned against her. But when someone tries to kill his old love, Wade can’t refuse to help her. In his years after the Army, he’s found his place in the world. His job at McKay-Taggart keeps him happy and busy but something is missing. When he takes the job watching over Genny, he realizes what it is.

As danger presses in, Wade must decide if he can forgive past sins or let the woman of his dreams walk into a nightmare....

Wow

This author does it again. She can write so well and introduce big tag and you are laughing. Loved how the characters in this book come to the realisation that they couldn’t go back to their teenage relationship and had to build a new one from the people they had became. Just awesome.
Narration was awesome too, as always with Ryan West.

A childhood romance gets a second chance!!

I loved Geneva and Wade's story. I am such a fan of a second-chance romance and this one was beautiful. Add in some great McKay-Taggart banter and a villian worth hating ... and this is a story worth reading!!

After listening to the audio, I fell in love with this couple even more. Geneva has had a tough life and she resents Wade for how it all played out. But when the truth behind her decision 15 years earlier comes to life, you can't help. but feel for her and Wade. Ryan West, once again, does an incredibly amazing job of bringing these characters and their story to life.
