**What happens when secrets are exposed and lies unravel? How far are Riley and Jack willing to go to play matchmaker—and what will it cost them?** Life seems picture-perfect for Riley and Jack Campbell-Hayes. Jack is thriving with the DD Ranch’s expansion into training quarter horses, Riley is on the brink of securing his first ethical-based contract, and their daughter Hayley is nearing ten, her joy lighting up their world. But in Texas, tranquility rarely lasts. When Jack hires Robbie, a man grieving a devastating loss, as his right-hand ranch hand, sparks of change ignite. At the same time, Riley’s audacious and flamboyant photographer friend, Eli, storms onto the ranch, declaring the DD the ideal location for a cowboy-themed model shoot.

Beneath his charm and mischief, he harbors secrets even Riley doesn’t know. When Eli sets his sights on the guarded and grieving Robbie, his instant attraction sets tongues wagging. Everyone can see they’re meant for each other—except Robbie.
