Shelly loves the city, not the wilds of Wyoming. So when she inherits the family ranch, selling it as fast as she can and returning back home is a no-brainer.
But when Shelly and her teenage brother get to Wyoming, they discover the ranch is a falling down wreck with only one cowboy left working it. Finding a buyer will take time, which means she and her brother will have to stay a while.
Adam promised Shelly's great-uncle that he'd keep the ranch going after the old man's death. Maybe even stay after a bit to help the heirs. But when he meets the new owners—twenty-something Shelly and her young brother—he's ready to bolt immediately. Women and children, even a teen like Shelly's brother, trigger too many bad memories.
But Shelly is far from able to handle the ranch alone, she asks Adam to stay just a while longer. The link between them grows by the day, but the pain builds inside Adam too. Soon it becomes impossible to bear and he has to walk away.
Can their fragile connection bring Adam back to her? Is there any chance of them joining together as a family?
