Heather Bannister left Aspen Valley chasing the wrong dreams, and New York chewed her up and spat her out. Coming home means facing the mess she made of her life — and running squarely into John Argall, the man she walked away from, now a widower raising a blue-eyed little girl on his own. John built his whole future without Heather. He's fine. Mostly. But when she slides into a ditch five miles from Refuge Ranch and he's the one who pulls her out, old warmth is harder to ignore than either of them expected. Redemption always starts somewhere. Sometimes it starts in a ditch.
