An inspiring romance, TAKING CHANCES isn’t about making it to tomorrow, but rather, making today count.
Born and raised in Toronto, Hadley Grades is a city girl living a city life. Blessed to have been born into money, she’s wanted for nothing and has everything—a big house, expensive cars, and opportunity galore.
She has it all. Until she doesn’t.
When her fun-loving brother dies of an overdose, Hadley’s perfect life is flipped inside out as a grief like no other consumes her family. Her father, in a desperate attempt to keep Hadley safe from the city’s temptations and the same fate as her brother, sends her to a safe place what feels like half a globe away. The Donnelley Ranch.
With her bags packed, angry and grieving, Hadley arrives at the place that will be her home for the next six months. She views the ranch as a punishment for a crime she didn’t commit, a solitary purgatory she must endure. Until she makes a friend, and another. And then she meets Collin Donnelley—or more accurately, her face meets his crotch. In public.
The horror and embarrassment of their meeting quickly turns into more, and Collin finds that Hadley makes him want to change his playboy ways. There’s something about her, something about the light of life in her eyes that makes him crave her friendship—crave more. It’s only a matter of convincing her that he’s worth taking a chance on.
