Rancher Ace Caldwell can’t change the past, but he can try to make amends. His battle with alcohol paralyzed a good friend—and cost Ace the woman he loved.

Once upon a time, Marisa Foreman believed in true love, and in the charming cowboy who seemed larger-than-life. Then her brother’s accident shattered her illusions and her trust in the cowboy.

But Ace sees what Marisa can’t, and it isn’t long before they clash over what’s best for Chance. When Ace’s steady presence starts to creep past Marisa’s defenses, she must face what she fears most. Can Ace’s love overcome the mistakes of his past?

Ace wants to make amends with Maris and her brother Chance but especially Marisa. He broke her heart and the walls are so high, but he's willing to do the work.
Ace feels responsible for the accident that caused Chance to be a quadriplegic. He is depressed. Marisa is working two jobs trying to pay off the medical bills, but she feels overwhelmed. So when Ace comes back into their world, Marisa is very suspicious of Ace's intentions, he does everything he can to so that Marisa will see he really means what he says.
I have really enjoyed this series. Recommended.

I love this author and this series is just so sweet. I am having such a good time reading it. This one was especially good, featuring a cowboy trying to make amends for a disastrous mistake. Ace Caldwell is a great hero.

Great story of redemption and love
This one was a sweet story of forgiveness and finding love again. It was a sweet touching story that pulled on your heart strings. I absolutely LOVED the end at the Sanctuary . Still have the tears in my eyes. That was so truly beautiful and moving. I loved it.

Marisa, Chance's sister and Ace's girlfriend, blames Ace completely.

Working through the AA steps has helped Ace become the man his family hoped he could be.

Embrace Change
Don’t like her-Didn’t like her- Won’t like her. Marisa is a woman who is very hard to like. Ace is a man who loves with all of his heart and soul. As we change in our life, we learn and go forward. Ace was able to do that, but Marisa constantly found fault. He married her but I kept waiting for her to doubt again.

Thoughtful Read
In reading this series I’ve fought the fact that I often don’t like at least one of the characters in the beginning. As they grow and change through the story, and I think about their changes, however, I learn to like them and understand them more. I won’t go into story details, that’s what the book blurb is for, but this is a thoughtful and worthwhile read.

A great story
Ace and Marissa have been thru so much. Glad they were able to work out their issues and have a happy ending. Glad Chance is starting to have a life, hopefully he will have a story someday.

A Bride for the Cowboy
What a great book. I loved Ace. All that happened and what he went through to become the man he was supposed to be. Marisa had trouble trusting and after what had happened in the past with Ace she was doubly afraid now.
