Cal's life might already be filled with complications, but this unexpected attraction is impossible to ignore. And with Cal's decision to return to Texas for good, Charlotte knows they'll need to figure out just where this relationship is headed. Because a future apart is no longer something either can accept. Cowboy Brothers in Arms Book 1: Heart Like a Cowboy Book 2: Always a Maverick Book 3: Cowboying Up
