Set Free (Second Chance Series) by Kelly Collins

An ex-con rancher with fifty-six dollars to her name. A detective who picked her up on the side of the road. And a second chance neither of them deserved. Mickey Mercer walks out of Denver Women's Correctional with fifty-six dollars and a century-old family ranch waiting for her. What she finds when she gets there: the house destroyed, her accounts emptied, her cattle gone, and a message from her ex spray-painted across the living room wall. Morgan took everything while she was locked up. Now she's got nothing but grit and a reason to rebuild. Detective Kerrick McKinley wasn't looking for trouble when he offered a hitchhiker a ride outside the prison gates. But Mickey is fierce, funny, and completely uninterested in being rescued. He's a year out of a failed marriage and done with complications. She's an ex-con with a target on her back. Neither of them planned on this. When Kerrick calls his brothers from Wyoming to help rebuild the ranch, what starts as a favor turns into something none of them expected. Mickey finds a crew. Kerrick finds a reason to stay. And the ranch that was left for dead starts to feel like home. Read more
