First love never really dies. It just waits

Twenty years is a long time to wonder “what if.”

Clay Thompson let Elizabeth Johnson go when they were eighteen, choosing his family’s horse breeding legacy over following her to college. He built an empire, married someone else, and told himself he’d made the right choice. Now, at forty-five, with a failed marriage behind him and hearing loss he refuses to acknowledge, he’s not so sure anymore.

Elizabeth didn’t plan on coming back to Mason. But after her ex-husband’s gambling addiction destroyed her finances and her pride, she’s starting over with her teenage daughter in the last place she ever wanted to be—working as the town’s new accountant. When she’s assigned to audit Thompson Quarter Horses, she comes face-to-face with the first man who ever broke her heart.

He still makes her pulse race. She still haunts his dreams. Neither of them is the person they used to be.

But when Elizabeth’s daughter bonds with Clay over their shared love of horses, old feelings resurface alongside old wounds. Some mistakes can’t be undone. But maybe, just maybe, some loves deserve a second chance.

The Cowboy’s Second Chance is Book 5 in the Thompson Cousins Series, a spin-off of the beloved Thompson Valley Ranch Series. Return to Mason, Texas for more steamy cowboy romances featuring the extended Thompson family. Each book features a different couple with a guaranteed happily ever after and can be enjoyed as a standalone, but reading in order offers the richest experience as beloved characters reappear throughout both series.
