Rugged Heart

We don’t always get what we want, but hope is the drug of choice for this former addict’s heart.

Twelve years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life—one that cost me years of my relationship with my twin brother. Time has passed, we’ve reconciled, and those old wounds have faded. Instead, a new affliction arises, unrequited feelings for the mother of my child—his former fiancée.

Wanting Scarlett Rhodes is reckless, but loving her is unavoidable. That singular moment bound us together for a lifetime, and on the journey, she’s become my best friend. Risking our thriving life as co-parents for a relationship is too high a stake.

Until she meets someone else.

I’m a man of many failures, but losing her won’t be one of them.

With the lines of friendship blurred, will true love prevail, or will another man be declared the winner in this small-town romance?
