Missing Maverick A Single Father Second Chance Romance (Cowboy Rancher Romance)

Join the Ryder brothers on their family ranch where loyalty is as steady as the rolling thunder and passion scorches like the Texas sun. I was going to love her until my last breath, and she promised to do the same… but she lied. Cricket McBride packed up without warning, ditching our small town and the life we were going to build together. She left me with tears in her eyes, a kiss on my cheek, and an empty heart that had done nothing but hardened over the years. My life wasn’t what I thought it would be, but I’d long since accepted it for what it was. I was content with working on my family ranch and being the best father I could. And I was fine with that. Or so I thought. When Cricket returned, one look was all it took for me to admit I still cared, but it wasn’t until I saw the marks on her skin and the pain in her soul that I realized just how deep that love went. Because the same hands that held her tight also promised to protect her… and I never broke a promise. *** MAVERICK is the third book in a small-town romance series featuring three ruggedly handsome cowboys.
