Now, he found himself wanting to be closer to his best friend, Darcy, the girl next door and the woman of his dreams.

Darcy Langley had fallen in love with Caleb the moment she’d seen him wrestling a calf in a rainstorm. Like the heroes in the romance novels she loved, he was virile and masculine—and wanted to be her friend. Ugh, she hated the “friend” card.
