After the Rain (Black Springs Ranch, #3)

Cleo Hayes is done with looking back. After a painful divorce and years of trying to outrun heartbreak, she returns to her parent's ranch in Texas seeking one thing—a fresh start. No drama. No distractions. And definitely no second chances.

But then Grady Wilde shows up.

Once her high school sweetheart, Grady is now a country music superstar looking to settle down. When an unexpected reunion brings them face-to-face for the first time in over a decade, they are both faced with emotions they thought were long gone.

Cleo never expected to see him again, let alone feel the familiar pull of the boy who once held her heart. And Grady knows he made the biggest mistake of his life when he let her walk away. Now, older, wiser, and with a daughter who’s softened every edge of him, he’s ready to prove that love like theirs doesn’t just fade.

Cleo built walls to protect herself. But Grady is the only one who’s ever known how to slip through the cracks, and maybe, just maybe, he’s the only one who can help her feel safe enough to let them fall.
