Welcome back to Last Chance, Nebraska!
A devastating drought has driven most of the men from town to look for work elsewhere, and Lara, Belle, and Marian are among the women left behind--and hoping for love.
This collection features:
A Chance for Lara
Lara Cummings came to Last Chance with her sister for a new life, far away from the farm where her inquisitive nature always seemed to land her in trouble. Living on her cousins' ranch sounded ideal . . . until the drought came. Now, Lara's opportunities to have a family of her own are shriveling as quickly as the chances the ranch has for survival.
Mitchell King wants as far away from Colorado as he can get. But opportunities to work are slim, and when he arrives in Last Chance, he's more than willing to take a job on a ranch in exchange for room and board. Of course, the pretty, mischievous redhead who lives there makes it all the easier to decide to stay. What he didn't count on was a group of people who quickly begin to feel like family.
Falling for Lara wasn't in Mitchell's plans, but she seems just as interested in him. She's impulsive and fascinating, and Mitchell has never met anyone like her. Just as he starts to think he might have found home--and love, Lara's curiosity digs up the part of Mitchell's past he'd rather keep buried. But when it comes time to reckon with it, he has to make a decision: stay for love, or leave to save Lara's life.
A Chance for Belle
Quiet and artistic, Belle Cummings is content with her paints, her family, and her life on the Cummings-Thomas Ranch. While she hopes for marriage and children, she's hardly one to stir up trouble, unlike her sister Lara.
But trouble finds her anyway--in the form of a handsome, injured cowboy.
Titus Moore came to Last Chance for the opportunities rumored to exist for hard workers in the slowly revitalizing town. He expected to find out if the rumors were true--but he didn't expect to be shot on his way into town. And he certainly never imagined a sweet, blonde angel finding him and nursing him back from the edge of death.
Belle is skeptical of Titus at first, and he isn't certain she can be trusted. But as they spend more time together, they slowly begin to discover there is more to one another than they first thought. When Belle learns that someone in town thinks Titus is someone he isn't, they agree it's best if he remains hidden, at least until he's recovered.
But it isn't long before someone discovers Belle's secret. And Titus will need to make a decision about what's more important--his own life, or hers.
A Chance for Marian
When the town of Last Chance agrees to let Marian Scott open a school, she can't wait to begin. Marian has always wanted to be a schoolteacher, and with her family just barely surviving, the small income she'll receive will help.
Lured by the promise of the slowly revitalizing town, Cole Robertson is looking for a new start. What he didn't expect was to rescue the town's pretty new schoolteacher from a drifter with bad intentions. Nor did he imagine he'd find himself serving as a sheriff's deputy.
Marian can't let herself fall for Cole--not if she wants to continue to teach school. And Cole has been responsible for more than one broken heart. It's hard to trust himself enough not to add Marian to that list.
But with danger threatening the new school, Marian and Cole find themselves spending more time together. Even if Cole can let down his guard long enough to allow Marian into his heart, will she have him if it means giving up her dream?
