The grief counselor told the group to be grateful for what they had left. After lots of considering, Charla Rae decided she was grateful for the bull semen.
Charla Rae Denny was the perfect wife with a perfect life, content to keep the home fires burning while her husband, JB, competed as a champion bull rider. Then their son died in a tragic accident-and everything fell apart. Divorced and saddled with a hill of bills and a failing ranch, Charla must now cowboy up to put her life back together.
James "JB" Denny doesn't stay where he isn't welcome. So when Charla shut him out of her grieving heart-and their home-a year ago, he took comfort where he could find it. Now after seeing beautiful Charla again, he wants it all back. She can't work the ranch alone, and deep in his heart he knows he can be the man she needs. But after so much history and heartbreak, can JB convince Charla to take a risk and give their love a second chance?
Excerpt
She’s no longer your wife.
Maybe not, but her pheromones still called to him from across a room, touching him places no other woman’s ever had.
He wanted her. Sexually obviously, but also in ways he’d forgotten until he found himself outside her world, looking in.
He missed the way she used to look at him; a corner of her mouth lifted in a girl-next-door-centerfold way.
He missed the sight of her dancing in the kitchen, when she thought herself alone.
He missed having the home she’d created wrapped around him, giving him strength to go out in the world and do things.
He missed all those things. It was the changes in her that kept him awake at night.
She was stronger now. Stronger than before the accident. Stronger than he’d ever seen her.
And he liked it.
