The Old Man (Red Ridge Chronicles #7)

Gus Malone has spent years watching younger folks find their happy endings while his own heart stayed silent. He's loved Glinda Stover from afar for longer than he cares to admit, but what does an aging cowboy with calloused hands and an empty wallet have to offer a woman like her? He can barely choke out a "good morning." Asking her to take a moonlit walk is far beyond him.

Glinda Stover is a woman who built her own life, nail by nail, and pretended she never needed a soul. Then a stranger rides into Red Ridge with a claim that could destroy everything she's worked for. Too old to start over, Glinda faces an impossible choice, especially when a piece of her heart is here, and belongs to a man who’ll never know.

As Gus and Glinda try to stop the stranger, their race against time turns into something neither expected. But when the dust settles and the truth comes out, will Gus finally find the courage to speak what's been locked in his heart for years? Or will fear of losing her keep him silent forever? And if he can’t say it, will she?

These kisses only books can be enjoyed in any order, but are best read starting with book one.
