Like the five generations before him, the Lucky Jack is in Colton’s blood, and Lauren knows he’ll do anything to protect it even if it means breaking her heart again. contemporary western romance, Cowboy romance, western romance, military romance, Crossfire Canyon series, second chance romance, steamy romance
