Cowboy’s Fate by April Murdock

Do you dare love again after your heart has failed you?

Dating the bad boy in high school made Millie feel excited and alive. Seven years later, battered and hopeless, she takes her son and flees her abusive marriage. Her best chance of hiding is a job on a ranch hours from her home.
August can’t bring himself to hate his ex-fiancée Chloe for marrying another man, especially when he knows how much happier she is. It still hurts, though.
The sting eases when Millie, his best friend from high school, appears at the ranch. She’s blossomed into a beautiful woman and caring mother, and he can’t help but wonder–is it fate?
But Millie’s husband won’t get let his possessions go without a fight. He dedicates himself to poisoning the budding relationship between August and Millie and reclaiming what’s his.
If love wasn’t enough for August and Millie the first time, how can it be enough for a second chance at happiness?
