He came to fix a ranch. She’s here to stay.
Sam Chance has spent his life chasing the next challenge. A successful attorney, competitive sailor, and born-and-raised resort kid, he'''s perfectly happy living on his father’s sailboat in Seattle—until his father buys a struggling Montana dude ranch sight unseen and volunteers Sam to whip it into shape. Now.
Sam knows hospitality. He knows contracts, budgets, and how to turn around a failing business. What he doesn’t know is horses, alpacas, or why anyone would willingly choose Montana over the ocean.
Large-animal veterinarian Victoria ‘Vic’ Mercer has seen too many promises broken to trust another owner’s son with big ideas and a short timeline. The ranch employs her parents, she’s sacrificed more than anyone realizes to help keep it afloat, and she’s not about to let a charming outsider convince her everything will work out this time.
Especially when he already plans to leave.
But as Sam trades boat shoes for cowboy boots, uncovers an old Ford truck hidden in a barn, and finds himself unexpectedly invested in Cottonwood Ranch, Prosperity, and the people who call them home, walking away gets harder than he ever imagined.
Falling in love is one thing. Trusting someone to stay is another.
Filled with cozy small-town charm, fish-out-of-water humor, meddling family, and a swoony closed-door romance full of sass and sparks,
A Chance to Stay is a story about putting down roots, taking a chance, and discovering what’s worth saving.
Come on in and stay awhile.
