Worth the Risk: A small town, second chance romance (Sagebrush Series) by Darcy Gamble

What’s worse than being stranded near the small town I never wanted to return to? Being rescued by the man I never wanted to see again. Sierra Howard has spent years living by her “live fast, die young” motto, chasing adrenaline through rock climbing and an independent life on the road. The last thing she wants is to revisit her painful past. But when her van breaks down in the deadbeat town she swore she’d never return to, Sierra’s forced to accept a job from the last man she wants to rely on: her ex, Logan LaSalle. Logan thought that the wounds caused by Sierra’s sudden and devastating disappearance years ago had long since healed. But one look at her, and he can’t walk away without learning the answers to questions that have haunted him for years—or without exploring the fragile hope that this serendipitous reunion could be the start of a second chance. As Sierra settles into a tenuous truce with Logan, she quickly realizes Sagebrush isn’t the only thing that’s had a transformation since the last time she was there. Logan is now patient. Steady. Successful. More attractive and irresistible to her than ever before. However, Sierra knows from experience that this kind of love only leads to heartbreak. While many things have changed, more have stayed the same, including the secrets and shame that drove her away the first time. But how can she continue to protect her heart when staying with Logan starts to feel worth the risk? For fans of Kate Canterbary and Jessica Joyce, Read more
