From this fabulous storyteller (Carolyn Brown, New York Times bestselling author) comes the second book in a bestselling western romance series.

After receiving life-changing good news, rancher Ben Callahan decides it's time to change his playboy ways. When he gets a second chance with the one woman he hasn't been able to forget since their week-long fling last autumn, he figures it's a no-brainer. Who wouldn't want forever with him? But Dr. Charlotte North isn't easily convinced. As far as she's concerned, once a player, always a player. Besides, she's only in town for the summer.

Charlotte took a leave of absence from her paediatric practice in the city to spend the summer in Meadow Valley. Taking care of her injured grandmother and helping her run the Meadow Valley Inn is all she's got time for. She's not prepared for Ben to try to woo her. So what if he's got rugged good looks and undeniable charm? Ben has never been a forever kind of guy, and Charlotte has a career to return to at summer's end. But Ben has always worked hard to get what he wants, and this time, he wants Charlotte.
