Rekindled In Montana (The Bowen Ridge Cowboys #3)
Bridget Weir
She broke his heart.
Now she lives next door.
Seven years ago, Serena Whitmore told Dane Barrington she didn't love him. Twelve hours after he proposed. One phone call. No explanation.
He believed her.
He shouldn't have.
Now she's back in Montana, living on the ranch next door with a baby on her hip and a seven-year-old with brown pigtails and pink sneakers.
She left seven years ago. The girl is seven. Dane can do the math.
Serena doesn't need his help. Doesn't need his truck in her driveway at dawn or the way he lifts fifty-pound feed bags like she's not standing right there. Doesn't need the way he watches her — patient, steady, furious — like a man still waiting for an answer she can never give.
Because the truth isn't that she stopped loving him.
The truth is she lied to save him. And now a senator needs her silence, an NDA threatens the children, and the only man who could protect her is the one she hurt the most.
She tells him to stay away. He keeps showing up anyway.
She lied to protect him. He's about to find out. And nothing in Montana burns slower than the truth.
