Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than Willa Grant, and he barely looks her way, even though she's living in his house for the summer. That is, until she gets him into the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then, all bets are off―and so are their clothes.
Cade is gruff, a little rough around the edges, but broad-shouldered ranchers with calloused hands and filthy mouths are this city girl's kryptonite. So who is she to resist?
But it's in their quietest moments together that he softens. It's in the unexpected way he takes care of Willa that she realizes his hardened exterior is just a façade. And it's when she watches him go all sweet with his little boy that she starts to fall for him, whatever the consequences.

Review: While I loved the romance between Cade and Willa and also Willa's relationship with Luke (Cade's young son), the overload of overly graphic sex scenes ends up being a bit distracting. In some cases, it seems they were only included to tick an item off a list and add pages to what could have otherwise been an amazing romance story.
I did love the happy ending, and I will for sure read the rest of the books in the series, but Heartless is not my favorite so far.
Heartless is book 2 in the Chestnut Springs series by Elsie Silver and while technically it can be read as a stand alone I would recommend going through book 1 first (read my review of Flawless here).
