2015 INSPY Award Winner
2015 Inspirational Reader's Choice Award Winner (Now Known as Faith, Hope, & Love Reader's Choice Award)
Ty Porter has always been irresistible to Celia Park. All through high school--irresistible. When their paths cross again after college-- still irresistible. This time, though, Ty seems to feel exactly the same way about Celia. Their whirlwind romance deposits them at a street-corner Las Vegas wedding chapel.
The next morning they wake to a marriage certificate and a dose of cold reality. Celia's ready to be Ty's wife, but Ty's not ready to be her husband. He's a professional bull rider, he lives on the road, and he's long planned to settle down with the hometown girl he's known since childhood.
Five and a half years pass. Celia's buried her dreams so that she can afford to raise her daughter. Ty's achieved all of his goals. Or thought he had, until he looks again into the eyes of the woman he couldn't forget and into the face of the child he never knew he had.
How much will Ty sacrifice to win back Celia's trust and prove to her that their spontaneous marriage can still become the love of a lifetime?

Booklist Review
A reckless weekend and foolish mistakes have led to a lifetime of consequences for Celia Park and Ty Porter. Although they once cared for each other, they have let a hedge of bitterness grow between them. However, when Ty decides to get some closure, he discovers he's in for anything but that. Celia has kept a secret from him for all these years: his daughter. And Ty's not about to turn his back on fatherhood. As the two find themselves drawing closer as they learn how to raise Addie together, Celia and Ty rediscover old feelings. Whether they can trust each other again remains to be seen. Wade (Undeniably Yours, 2013) makes her characters as real and dear as any friend her readers have. Readers will also appreciate her honest depictions of Celia's and Ty's struggles with faith and love amid hardships, and they'll be charmed by her view of life in small-town Texas.--Richard, Carolyn Copyright 2014 Booklist
