Rule #2 Keep Calm and Carry On
(2025)(The second book in the Rules For Dating A Single Mom series)
A Story by E B Silva
My son and I came to Ouray to celebrate our friends' marriage. But I never thought romance would be on the ticket…
Randall ‘Rugged’ Collier is the last man I thought I’d have a romantic connection with. A horse trainer and farrier at Heart’s Desire Ranch, we first meet at the wedding of our friends, Luna and Ledger—a magical moment never to be repeated. But fate has other plans when the cowboy rescues my son, Gregory, and me after our Jeep gets stranded on a muddy backcountry road outside of the high-elevation ghost town Animas Forks.
The horse-riding, cowboy-hat-wearing, ex-military hero couldn’t be more different than my husband, Daniel, who died overseas in Afghanistan. But Rugged’s got a quiet, patient way that disarms me and heals my heart and soul in ways I didn’t know I needed.
And he’s magical with my son. But am I ready to risk loving again? Or letting Gregory get attached to a man he increasingly envisions as a father figure? And does an inveterate bachelor like Rugged really see himself leaving the bunkhouse for a ready-made family?
If you like sweet, small-town, cowboy romances where grumpy meets sunshine, opposites attract, and a single mom gets a second chance at forever love, you’ll adore this short, closed-door, heartwarming read.
