Synopsis

He’s a lost cowboy looking for a place to land. She’s a restless dreamer trying to flee their small town. One little boy’s trouble seals their fate.
Lyla O’Neil wants to set up her grandfather’s business to run without her, so she can flee from the small town and return to her real life in the city. The only problem? The man she’s set her heart on to take over is the same man who holds her heart.

Bennet Caldwell has been searching for his place in life since he was left an orphan at ten. With no other place to go, he returns to Camp Hope, the only place he feels a semblance of connection. The cute hardware store owner might actually give him a chance at finding home.

When Bennet realizes Lyla is set on leaving him like everyone else in his life, he’s ready to move on, but there’s a troubled Camp Hope boy who holds him in Hope Lake. Little Micah comes up missing, and it turns out Bennet and Lyla are his only hope.

If they can’t put aside their hurt and mistrust, they won’t be able to save Micah or each other. Will Bennet and Lyla become the next Hope Lake couple, or will they let their worries drown them along with the waters of Hope Lake?

Hoping on Chance is Book Five in Hope Lake, a clean cowboy romance series with a touch of suspense to keep you up reading past your bedtime. You can read each book as a standalone, although for maximum enjoyment, the author suggests starting at the beginning. Hope Lake also features favorite characters from Danae Little’s Faithful Cowboy series.

This is a clean series, meaning it is free from swearing and intimate scenes. Read this edge-of-your-seat, clean cowboy romance now.
