Texas Strong — Mary Alford

At seventeen, Liam Cartwright swore he'd never return to Bitter Creek, Texas and his family's ranch again, after his high school sweetheart, Wynonna Summers broke his heart by choosing his cousin over Liam. But this time is different. His family needs him now that his larger than life father has passed away. After going over the books, Liam discovers the Cartwright ranch is in real financial trouble thanks to his cousin's bad investments. And the one person who can help him save his family home, is his former sweetheart and his cousin's widow, Wynonna. As old stirring for Wynonna churn to the surface, she seems determined to keep him at a distance, even going so far as to try to play matchmaker. Did their past mean nothing to Wynonna, or is she desperately trying to keep him at arm's length because, like him, she never got over the love they once shared?
