But just his luck the girls become friends and trouble follows… Widowed pilot, Rissa Matthews' life is falling apart. Looking for a new start she joins her cousin at the Second Chance Ranch hoping to find her own second chance. Instantly she’s butting heads with the gorgeous small-town sheriff.

Jonas agreed to become a member of the new Harper clan mostly for the sake of his two best friends. Where they go, he goes, and they wanted to be Harper clan members, so here he is. The problem is that the clan needs more fighters, and even though he’s a Krsnik, he’s not a fighter. He half expects to get kicked out for that, but instead he’s invited to a family dinner at the leaders’ house. Where he meets his mate. Kendrick is hiding from an insistent eighteen-year-old who doesn’t take no for an answer. It’s ridiculous, but Devon doesn’t seem to understand that Kendrick only sees him as a friend, no matter how many times he tells him. When Jonas catches his mate’s scent and walks in on two men kissing, he hopes his mate isn’t the bratty, too-young guy who snaps at him. He’s not, but that doesn’t mean that Devon will give up easily. Kendrick knows that Devon is desperately looking for love, but he’s doing so in the wrong place. Between that and the phone call from his brother, his life starts to feel overwhelming. And he’s not even bonded to Jonas yet.
