About the book
Find the answer in bestselling author Alexa Aston’s Hearts and Hooves, the fourth book in Hearts in Hawthorne.
Welcome to Hawthorne, Texas, where many former citizens return to embrace the slower pace and strong family values of their hometown, ultimately finding love and happiness.
Chance Blackstone has spent his twenties sowing his wild oats, but after his father's passing, he takes over the family ranch. Seeing his sister Kelby happily married to his best friend West Sutherland, Chance starts to feel the desire to settle down himself and start a family.
Meanwhile, Summer Sutherland is forced to leave her job as a senior editor in New York and decides to return to Hawthorne to pursue her dream of becoming a romance author. Drawing inspiration from her roots, she begins writing about small-town Texas and reconnects with her teenage crush, Chance Blackstone.
Despite never noticing Summer in the past, Chance now finds himself drawn to the independent and talented woman she has become. As their friendship blossoms into something more, they face challenges from Chance's past that threaten to derail their newfound love.
Will Summer and Chance be able to overcome the obstacles in their path and build a future together, or will the secrets from the past tear them apart?
