Description:Cooper Landon knows what it’s like to be left behind, lied to, and betrayed. He was already a troubled teenager when his uncle emptied his bank account and fled the country. Angry, broke, and more than a little high—he tried to rob a small-town hardware store. Instead of money, what he got was a good beating and a second chance. Pete Glenford took him in, taught him he wasn’t worthless, welcomed him into his family and gave him a purpose.
Cooper enjoys living in a small town, working in a hardware store and using what little money he has to locate and help runaways. He’d feel pretty good about his new life except for one minor issue—Pete’s daughter.
She never wanted him in her home, never trusted him with her parents, and doesn’t believe any of his lies.
He definitely shouldn’t have slept with her.
