Every town needs a bad boy, and Wrangler's Creek's has been gone far too long

Getting his high school girlfriend pregnant was just one square in Roman Granger's checkered past, but it changed him forever. When his son's mother skipped town after the birth, Roman decided to do the same, Tate in tow, hoping for a fresh start.

Now Roman fears his teenage son is following in his wayward footsteps, so he returns home to Wrangler's Creek, aiming to set him straight. It's there he encounters Tate's aunt, Mila Banchini, the good-girl opposite of Roman who's had a crush on him since childhood. The old spark between them undeniably never died, though Roman worries it'll only lead to heartache. But if falling for Mila is such a bad idea, why does everything about holding her feel so right?

Roman is too busy workings and being a single father to a  troubled teen to have a relationship. When his son manages to get expelled from his school they decide to start over in a new school back to his home in Wrangler's Creek. Little did he expect to be seeing a lot of Mila who is very different from his son's mother in every way and its she who is slowly but surly making him question his rule of not getting close to any one.

I've been so busy lately that I just needed a moment of escape and this book did that for me. I loved getting to know Roman and Mila and getting their own point of views. I thought it was interesting getting to see the father son relationship. I loved getting to konw the back stories to Roman and seeing why he's a bit guarded and what was up with him and his mothers relationship and no Mila's side seeing her as she searches for her actual father and seeing if he would get any where. I enjoyed seeing the spark between the two and there were a few steamy scenes in the book that were pretty good. The story was well writing with an interesting set of characters and overall story line. I really enjoyed this book.
