He's been serving in the military for a decade. She's been quietly grieving a devastating loss. When Finn and Edith reunite in small-town Three Rivers where they grew up together, can their second chance romance provide hope, healing, and the happily-ever-after they both crave?
Finley Ackerman left home ten years ago, determined to figure out who he was and what he wanted his life to be. He's been serving in the Army, but when the opportunity to get out of intelligence and go home to Three Rivers comes up, Finn jumps at it.
He's expecting a huge homecoming at Three Rivers Ranch. He's even expecting the Welcome Home banners draped across Main Street in town. He's not expecting to run into Edith Baxter literally the moment he gets out of his truck.
Edith is just as surprised to see Finn-decked out in his uniform, no less-as she comes out of her equine therapy appointment at Three Rivers Ranch. But the moment she steps into his arms and welcomes him home, it's as if choirs of angels start singing.
Perhaps he's what she needs to finally move past the tragedies life has dealt her. She's done her best to put her heart back together after the devastating loss of her fianc a few years ago, and she does that by pouring everything she has into her children's books and working a small patch of land not far from Finn's sprawling family operation.
But she's not whole, and she knows it. He does too, and as Finn and Edith start finding solace in one another, she learns that he carries his own scars. She's not sure her heart will ever be whole enough to give to another cowboy, and Finn's not sure exactly what's next for him or how long he's actually going to stay in town.
Can Edith and Finn make their second chance into a forever love? Or will life's paths once again diverge, driving them apart for good?
