Mace by Cee Bowerman

Mace is the opposite of his brother Angus in most ways. He’s easygoing, quick to laugh, and a man who isn’t afraid to voice his opinion. A favor for his sister-in-law puts him in just the right place to meet a woman who looks like everything he’s dreamed of. A long afternoon chat in a bookstore leaves him wishing for just a little more of her time.

Reba is a single mom who can do it all. At least that is what she keeps telling herself as she runs a mile a minute working to give her family a life she only got glimpses of as a child herself. Reba’s first true love, her high school sweetheart and father to her children, burned bright until he winked out and changed into a man she didn’t know. She picks up her kids and moves to Rojo to be close to the only people she considers family and makes a happy life for the three of them.

A dark part of her past comes to haunt her and she is ready to run with her children, run away from everything they’ve ever known to anywhere that will keep them safe from harm. With the help of her family, new friends, and Mace, she stays and fights for her family and the life she’s always dreamed of.

With Mace by her side, she conquers the demon from her past and turns toward a brighter future. Mace says it best. “Even a good man is only as strong as the woman by his side. I can do anything with you.”
