Mountain Rise Ranch

Time may not heal all wounds, but forgiveness, compassion, and love can make a heart strong enough to leave them behind... Chelsea Hitchin has made her share of bad choices in her life. The first had cost her a best friend; the second, her marriage. But none had brought her closer to falling to pieces than the third: losing Mountain Rise Ranch, her family home of generations. After her mother's passing, Chelsea is at a crossroads with grief, medical bills, and debt threatening to bring everything she built to the ground. She has no choice left but to seek help from her ex-husband, Zac Sparrow. But soon, Chelsea is surprised to find a different Sparrow - one she never expected to hear from again - turn up at her doorstep. Despite the entanglement of their families in an age-old feud, Chelsea and Cat Sparrow had been friends since before they could walk. Until the age of seventeen, Chelsea, Cat, and Ashley Cuthbert were inseparable...until Chelsea betrayed Cat's trust and broke one of the golden rules of their friendship. After marrying Cat's older brother, she knew her friend would never forgive her, but Chelsea never stopped hoping. Now, years later, Chelsea may have a chance to save her family ranch and get to the bottom of the trouble brewing on their land, thanks to the invaluable help of the Sparrows. But the more time Chelsea and Zac spend with each other, the more she realizes that walking out on her marriage was the worst decision she ever made. Could Zac be feeling the same way?
