A Cowboy’s Second Chance
A Cowboy’s Second ChanceHe walked away from his future. Now he’s back to reclaim it—with God’s help and a little grace.
Ten years ago, Conner Hart left Riverbend Valley as a rising rodeo star, chasing fame and glory. But reckless choices and a life built on pride led to devastating consequences, leaving him with nothing but regret. After a career-ending injury and the death of his estranged father, Conner is forced to return to his Montana hometown and the family ranch he abandoned. Inheriting the Gold Star Ranch comes with strings attached: Conner must live and work on the ranch for a full year before it officially becomes his.
Rachel Nolan, the ranch’s skilled horse trainer, has built a quiet, stable life for herself in Conner’s absence. His sudden return stirs up emotions she thought she’d buried—hurt, anger, and the flicker of a love she’s tried to forget. Conner left without a word, and Rachel has no intention of letting him back into her heart. But with her own future tied to the ranch through a clause in Warren Hart’s will, Rachel finds herself reluctantly working alongside the man who once broke her heart.
As Conner faces the challenges of ranch life and rebuilding his reputation, he discovers the truth about his late father—a man transformed by faith in his final years. With the help of his father’s journal, the support of a small-town church, and God’s grace, Conner begins to find healing for his wounded soul. Meanwhile, Rachel struggles to trust God’s plan, fearing that opening her heart to Conner again could lead to more pain.
Through long days on the ranch and quiet moments under the Montana sky, Conner and Rachel must confront their shared past and the pain of choices left unspoken. Forgiveness doesn’t come easy, but as they learn to let go of the past, they discover that God’s grace can heal even the deepest wounds.
A Cowboy’s Second Chance is a heartwarming story of redemption, faith, and the courage it takes to trust in love again. Set against the breathtaking beauty of Riverbend Valley, this novel reminds us that second chances are a gift, and true healing comes when we place our hearts—and our futures—in God’s hands.
