A Fighting Chance (Knockout Series)

When Jessica Howard's runaway goats trample Ben Wright's prize pasture for the third time in a week, the grumpy Tumbleweed rancher makes one thing perfectly clear — she is not welcome here.
Fresh from a soul-crushing corporate career in Houston, Jessica has inherited a crumbling Texas farm and a mountain of debt she didn't ask for. All she wants is a quiet corner of the world to catch her breath and rediscover her faith. What she gets instead is a stone-faced neighbor who seems determined to make her feel like a stranger in her own backyard.
Ben Wright has spent years building walls around his heart. Widowed and raising three kids alone, the baseball-coaching rancher runs his life with military precision — and zero room for the warmth that Jessica seems to carry everywhere she goes. But when Jessica quietly becomes a fixture for his children, cracking through the loneliness none of them dares name, Ben's carefully guarded fortress starts showing cracks.
Set against the sun-baked charm of small-town Texas, this clean and wholesome inspirational romance captures the slow, stubborn magic of two people learning that God's timing rarely looks the way you expect it to. With a grumpy-meets-sunshine dynamic that crackles with tension and a later-in-life love story rooted in genuine faith and healing, this fourth installment in the Tumbleweed, Texas series proves that second chances grow best in the most unlikely soil.
Some fences are meant to come down.
