    He told her once he wasn't interested in dating her if they weren't exclusive. She's a former racecar driver just trying to find the right man for her at 200 miles per hour. Can Oakley slow down enough to have a relationship with Ranger, or will they both be left lonely this Christmas? 
    Ranger Glover has worked at Shiloh Ridge Ranch his entire life. In his spare time, he's secretly developed an app for the cowboys around Three Rivers to share their experiences with everything from restaurants to events so they can all impress the women they like with their dating abilities. Too bad he hasn't been able to truly benefit from Two Cents in his own love life. 
    When he runs into a sobbing Oakley Hatch after an evening out, the chemistry and attraction between them is just as explosive as it's always been. She asks him for a ride home, and Ranger finds he can't say no to that. He has told her no before, when he learned she was dating multiple men at the same time. 
    Oakley Hatch has won more Grand Prixs and amassed a huge fortune from her time on the Formula One racing circuit. She can strap into a racecar and drive over two hundred miles an hour. That didn't scare her. Not having Ranger Glover does. So does telling him what kind of person she'd been while racing cars, as it wasn't anyone to be proud of. 
    She's ended all of her relationships to try to get back on Ranger's good side, and when he learns that, he immediately asks her out. A date with him is all Oakley wants, and as their relationship speeds forward, all of her secrets come tumbling out. 
    Ranger handles them like a champ...but he doesn't tell her anything about Two Cents. When she finds out he's been keeping something from her, the betrayal cuts deep—and throws her right back into her past. Can Ranger and Oakley find common ground this Christmas? Or will there simply be too much horsepower in her blood to make their relationship work?

    Description:
    After seven years of loving Ryan with her whole heart, Vivian's world shatters when she sees a social media post from his new flame. It features a humiliating, desperate message she sent him, paired with a photo of him doting on another woman. In that moment, something inside her breaks—and she realizes she no longer loves him. Vivian continues her meticulous care for Ryan, preparing his breakfast and managing his life, but the fire is gone. As she throws herself into a demanding new project, she notices the liberating silence: she no longer anxiously texts him, no longer craves his attention. When Ryan, sensing the shift, begins to show a tenderness he never did before, Vivian faces a choice. Can she walk away from the man she once thought was her destiny, the one for whom she sacrificed her pride? This is a raw, empowering story of self-discovery, the quiet end of a one-sided love, and the courage it takes to stop being the backup plan.

    And the worst part is . . . the more time I spend with him, the more I think I want forever too.
