Rancher Next Door

Two years ago Lucass high-school sweetheart divorced him for her boss leaving him with nothing but a string of words like unreliable disappointing and failure. He hasnt looked at another woman since--a failing farm and an ailing dad are all he has time for. But when an old friend moves back next door he cant help but notice shes a woman. And single. And ignoring him. Seven years ago Trinas boyfriend left her for greener pastures leaving her nothing but a son and no child support to help raise him. So when shes late for the interview of a lifetime and the childhood friend who abandoned her offers to cover she cant afford to say no. The proposal is clear: pretend to date him and shell get the job she needs with his aunt. They both know the deal. It should be no problem. But the more Lucas learns about Trinas plans and ambitions the more he knows his ex-wife was right--he has nothing to offer. Yet the bigger the glimpse Trina gets into Lucass lonely life the more she wants to be a part of it even at the risk of her own damaged heart. These old friends have so much more to risk the second time around but the temptation next door has never looked so good.
