About the book

From the publisher


A second chance stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a literary agent from NYC who returns to her Southern hometown and the cowboy high school sweetheart she left behind…

I fell in love with him when I was only fifteen—tall, handsome, and so damn charming—it was impossible not to.

Years later, we got married, and I thought we’d have our perfect happily-ever-after.

But I wanted more than being his wife in a small mountain town, so I chased my dream job seven hundred miles away. I begged him to come with me, but he wouldn't leave his family's ranch.


Walking away and letting him go was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced.

But then I meet someone new and he's everything I need—stability, mutual respect, and ambition. He's my second chance at love. When he proposes, it’s a no-brainer to tell him yes.


There's just one little problem…

I'm still married to my high school sweetheart, who refuses to sign the divorce papers.

Even worse? I never told my fiancé.

Now I have to return to Willow Branch Mountain, find my ex, and demand he sign them.

When I show up at his door and he slams it in my face, I know he's not going to make it easy—especially when those old feelings resurface, and I’m left making the hardest decision of my life.

Perfect for fans of:

✔️ Small town cowboy romance

✔️ Second chances

✔️ High school sweethearts

✔️ Celibate MCs who wait for her

✔️ Spicy open-door romances

✔️ All the yearning, tension, & HEA you crave

Take My Name is book #1 in the Willow Branch Mountain interconnected series. Each one ends in a happily-ever-after with a hook into the next one, and although you don’t have to read them in order, you’ll get a better reading experience if you do.
