A new cowboy series from bestselling author Bal Khabra about a second chance at love that leads to a romance that can't be reined in.

Alana Rai is ready for her hard work to pay off. Organized, whip-smart, and in her last year of veterinary school, she's given everything in her drive to break free from her small town, even if she's had to do it alone. But when her final clinical rotation lands her back in Moonlit Meadows, she's forced to face the people-and emotions-she left behind six years ago.

Slade Sutherland has never seen a reason to leave home. His heart lies with his big family and the ranch they've owned for generations. But his vision to modernize the ranch and take the family business into the future, he clashes with his older brother's belief that some things are better left unchanged. Determined to prove there's a better way forward, Slade opens the ranch to new opportunities, including partnering with universities for hands-on practicums. But no good deed goes unpunished, as he soon realizes when one of the students working on the ranch turns out to be none other than his first love, Alana.

Alana can't believe that of all the cowboys she could work with, she's paired with Slade. Yet as they work together, old wounds close, and the hopeful seeds of a new future begin to take root.
