Stalled Independence (Holidays in Lake Point 3)

Regan Croft is running as far away as she can get from her past when her car dies outside of Lake Point. While she'd said she'd stop wherever her car died and start a new life, she isn't so prepared when it finally happens. Starting over isn't so easy, especially with a sexy cowboy trying to learn all he can about her. Clay Ryley doesn't know what to think of the beautiful young woman he rescues from the side of the road, all he knows is she makes him interested in dating again after a painful break up years ago. Unfortunately, every bit of his effort to get close to her is thwarted by her fear of her own past. He wants to help her, and love her, but she makes it difficult for him. When Regan's past comes back to haunt her, she could lose everything. When the cards are on the table, Clay has to figure out if he's willing to listen, or walk away. If he makes the wrong choice, Regan will lose not only her new-found independence, she'll lose her last hope for love.
