Matt Coleman thought he’d have it all by now—a wife, a family, a future set in stone. Instead, he’s got a busy ranch, an empty bed, and no interest in trusting anyone with his heart again. Casual? Sure. Complicated? Never. Hope Meridan doesn’t have time for romance. Between running her quilt shop and picking up the pieces after her sister bailed, she’s too busy surviving to even think about falling for someone. Especially not the rugged cowboy who still carries a scar from her sister’s betrayal. But when late-night talks turn into lingering touches, friendship starts to feel a lot like something more. The spark between them has been waiting years to ignite—and now that it has, neither can pretend it’s simple. A small-town, friends-to-lovers, sister’s-ex romance with stubborn hearts, meddling family, and a cowboy who finally learns love’s worth the risk.
