Book excerpt: She's back and hotter than ever. Good thing this firefighting cowboy can handle the sparks. When country singer Fern Bryant returns to her cabin in Wildcat Hall Park, the last thing she expects to find is Craig Thorne in her home...asleep in her bed. The only bed. Once upon a time, Fern had big dreams, and chasing those dreams required sacrifices...and purchasing a battery-operated boyfriend as a substitute for Craig, the cowboy singer and firefighter she left behind. But now it turns out, Fern and Craig are the co-owners of her beloved Wildcat Hall Park. Craig hasn't seen Fern since she left Wildcat Bluff County—and him—to sing on a cruise ship. When she storms back into town, the sparks between the two aren't only rekindled but burn hotter than ever. Long days turn into long nights, and Craig is determined to make the most out of this second chance with Fern, and show her she belongs in Wildcat Bluff...and his arms.
