Kissed by a Cowboy — Lacy Williams

Only one thing could've forced Haley Carsten to return to her hometown -- her beloved aunt's failing health. Being home again stirs up painful memories of the high school best friend that died too young. When she meets a young girl who is the spitting image of her friend, Haley can't help but feel an instant kinship. The one thing she didn't count on was running into her high school crush -- Maddox Michaels. Maddox is a realist. There's no place in his life for dreams, not when he has an impressionable niece to raise and a brother who's lost his way. But when Haley enters his orbit again, he can't help remembering those dreams that died alongside his sister -- dreams like falling in love. Can Haley resurrect Maddox's heart, or have too many years passed since she was Kissed by a Cowboy?
