This charge nurse and helicopter pilot bring a new twist to flight risk…
Single mom Kenzie Calhoun has returned to Burkitt, Texas, and the Aces High Ranch determined to build a loving home. She has a new position as a nurse on an air medical evac team, a house to remodel, and a whip-smart six-year-old daughter to raise. After a disastrous marriage, the walls around her heart are high. There’s no room for another mistake in the romance department.
Major Deke Hayes takes pride in his air evac helicopter service that assists area ranches, including the Aces High, during roundups and predator removal. In his spare time, he flies emergency calls for the local hospital. But his call sign, Lone Wolf, says it all: his trust issues mean he flies through life solo, too.
That is, until precocious Brooke Calhoun, with a penchant for climbing trees and a fondness for sprinkles on cupcakes, can’t help but bring the two adults together with her antics.
Will Kenzie and Deke see that sometimes walls have a way of crumbling in the face of second chances?

Kenzie and Deke have both had a really bad love experience in their past relationships and neither wants to get romantically involved again, oh but I want them to. And Kenzie’s daughter has ways of getting them together outside of work. So can the Lone Wolf and the once burnt twice shy gal even have a chance at the HEA? Read this one and find out. The little girl, the brave dog, and the epilogue make this an awesome read.

A great addition to the Texas Heritage series. I knew this book was going to be good when I picked it up. I have enjoyed the previous books in the series, so I couldn’t wait to start this one. I really liked the characters and the author did a great job on their backgrounds and current storyline.
Kenzie works for Deke as an air medical evac nurse and she knows it’s not right to have feelings for her boss. But she still does. Deke is also fighting the same feelings for Kenzie. Because they have both had bad experiences in relationships, they hold back.
It’s Kenzie’s little girl who seems to bring them together. She was such a fun part of this story. When it would get a bit serious, Brooke was there to lighten it up some. I also liked catching up with the characters from the previous books.
Even though this book is part of a series, you could read it as a stand-alone. But I would recommend starting at the beginning of the series so you really know what’s going on with the other characters that pop up in this book.

We are back in Burkitt, Texas with the latest addition to the series. This one belongs to Kenzie Calhoun and Deke Hayes. Kenzie, a single mom, cousin to the Burkitt sisters, recently moved to town to be close to family. Her job as a nurse on an air medical evac team, brings her in close contact with the handsome pilot. But she has been hurt before and is not interested in any relationship. Especially since she doesn’t trust she won’t get hurt once again.
Her boss, former military helicopter pilot, Major Deke Hayes, is also the half brother to the Hawke brothers, owners of Aces High Ranch.
Both have kept their distance but it’s Brooke, Kenzie’s six year old daughter, who loves anything sprinkles, that brings them together.
Can these two individuals who have been hurt by people that were suppose to love them, once more open their hearts ? Can they trust that they won’t be crushed?
Will they finally realize that sharing one’s life with that special person can be a gift? Finding that person that will brighten one’s day and support one in hard times is worth the risk.
This is a story about losses in love and trust. It’s also a story about family, new beginnings and second chances in life and love. I was entrusted a copy of this book by TULE Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
