Publisher's Summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries series…

A second chance at first love

Years before, Wade Rycroft fell in love with Geneva Harris, the smartest girl in his class. The rodeo star and the shy academic made for an odd pair but their chemistry was undeniable. They made plans to get married after high school but when Genny left him standing in the rain, he joined the Army and vowed to leave that life behind. Genny married the town’s golden boy, and Wade knew that he couldn’t go home again.

Could become the promise of a lifetime

Fifteen years later, Wade returns to his Texas hometown for his brother’s wedding and walks into a storm of scandal. Genny’s marriage has dissolved and the town has turned against her. But when someone tries to kill his old love, Wade can’t refuse to help her. In his years after the Army, he’s found his place in the world. His job at McKay-Taggart keeps him happy and busy but something is missing. When he takes the job watching over Genny, he realizes what it is.

As danger presses in, Wade must decide if he can forgive past sins or let the woman of his dreams walk into a nightmare....

A second chance and overcoming the pain

I wasn’t sure about Wade and Genny’s story, which is probably why my subconscious pushed it back in my TBR. I should have known Lexi would handle the story so well, that I am now wondering why I was worried. Second chance romances where the separation didn’t make sense anger me, and this seemed like that is what it was. It was to a degree, but as the story moved on from what they lost to who they were going to be together, I loved it! The realities of love lost and sacrifices made weren’t glossed over. The pain endured wasn’t magically fixed. The healing, the growth, and the effort that needed to be put into all those things was there in the story, on the pages, and our characters allowed us this glimpse into their private lives and what it takes to have the happily ever after for real
