Reckless

Reckless is a small‑town, secret‑baby romance that starts with a brave exit and lands in a life that finally feels like home. Winter, an ER doctor, walks out on a husband who never deserved her and escapes to Chestnut Springs. On a snowy night she meets Theo, a troublemaking bull rider with a big heart, bigger swagger, and a stubborn dog named Peter. Their chemistry is instant, but Winter’s past is messy and her walls are high.

The book moves like a real relationship—awkward starts, honest talks, and moments that actually change your life. There’s family dinner at the ranch, a tequila‑fueled confession, a hospital hallway where pride shifts into care, and a quiet hotel room where consent is written on a coaster because it matters. When Winter discovers she’s pregnant, Theo is back on the circuit and unreachable. Eighteen months later, a rodeo fall and one raw conversation put the truth on the table.

From there, the story turns into two people learning to show up. Theo moves in next door, then into their lives; Winter lets herself need him and trust that he’ll stay. Together, they face family wounds, a paternity fight, and a town that sees more than they realize. And through the chaos, they build a home—coffee and bath time, nails and baby steps, ranch dinners and small wins. Reckless is about choosing love with your whole chest, even when it’s scary.
