Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage (Paperback)

Camille Ashwood thought she finally had everything under control. Marriage was supposed to bring stability, give her daughter the life she deserved, and put a stop to her parents’ endless criticism. Instead, she ends up abandoned at the altar, homeless, embarrassed, and unsure what comes next. All she has left is her daughter and the quiet dream of starting over in Meadowlark. When the house she once adored becomes available, Cam grabs it. A fresh start feels possible again, until she meets her new neighbour.

Dusty Tucker has spent years running from memories of Cam—the girl he loved fiercely and lost too young. Seeing her again is like reopening a box he never learned how to pack away. He promised himself he’d keep his distance, especially with her future seemingly set with another man. But now she’s single, living next door, and every day they fall back into old rhythms so naturally it hurts.

Cam wants order. Dusty wants one more chance. Friendship is the safe choice, though neither of them can ignore the pull between them. As they rebuild their lives side by side, buried history resurfaces. Trust becomes fragile. Desire grows harder to hide. And with nearly a decade of love, regret and unfinished business between them, they’re forced to ask if a second chance could lead to something lasting.

Maybe first love can come back stronger. If they’re brave enough to choose it.
