Mia. Her name still catches in my throat after all these years.
She was my greatest "what if," the one regret that's haunted me for a decade. Now, like a mirage in the desert, she's back on my ranch, and damn if my heart doesn't skip a beat every time our eyes meet.
But this isn't the same starry-eyed girl who left. No, this Mia's got thorns, and she's not afraid to use 'em. She challenges me at every turn, leaving me fumbling like a greenhorn in front of my own ranch hands. I want to sweep her off her feet, but my own stubborn pride keeps getting in the way.
As if her return wasn't enough to turn my world upside down, she's brought a whole reality TV crew with her. Suddenly, my peaceful ranch is swarming with cameras, and I'm caught between the man I've become and the boy who let her go.
Every day, the line between past and present blurs a little more. Part of me wants to retreat to the solitude I've grown comfortable with, but a bigger part? Well, it's ready to lasso the moon if that's what it takes for a second chance with Mia.
She's challenging everything I thought I knew about myself, about love, about the possibility of rewriting our story. And despite my gruff exterior, I'm starting to think that maybe, just maybe, some risks are worth taking.
