Grumpy Cowboy's Redemption

Who says Fate doesn't play tricks.

We're double booked in a cozy hotel room with the grumpy cowboy who rescued us.

While watching him interact playfully with my daughter, I hesitantly agreed to let him stay.

Our original plan: a mother-daughter ski getaway in the Rockies.

The perfect refuge from my ex's custody battles.

Our idyllic escape is disrupted with this broad-chested blue-eyed third wheel in our room.

His smile is warm, but I can't ignore the pain he hides behind those kind eyes.

As the monster storm rages, we find ourselves engaged in profound late night conversations.

Logic dictated this was just a passing encounter, destined to fade into memory.

My rebel heart is saying otherwise.

Do I trust my instincts, despite their past betrayals, and offer us both a second chance at love?
