A chance encounter with a runaway teen convinces him there¿s more to life than his own selfish needs. But Social Services won¿t consider him an acceptable candidate to adopt the kid unless he can provide a stable family environment, and Colt only trusts one woman to handle the job¿his ex-wife, Shayla.Shayla Carter has fought feelings of anger and grief every time she sees her celebrity ex-husband on TV with some new bimbo draped on his arm. When he shows up out of the blue with a Texas-sized solitaire diamond and a promise to do right by her, she gives him a reception like hell froze over. But Colt agrees to her long list of demands, and now Shayla can¿t help but wonder if it¿s time to give her first love a second chance.
