Eight years ago, Tyler Donnelly left Wishing River, Montana, after a terrible fight with his father and swore heâd never return. But when his father has a stroke, guilt and duty drive him home, and nothing is as he remembersââfrom the run-down ranch to Lainey Sullivan, who is all grown up now. And darn if he canât seem to stay away. Laineyâs late grandma left her two things: the family diner and a deep-seated mistrust of cowboys. So when Tyler quietly rides back into town looking better than hot apple pie, she knows sheâs in trouble. But she owes his dad everything, and sheâs determined to show Ty what it means to be part of a small town...and part of a family. Laineyâs courage pushes Ty to want to make Wishing River into a home againâtogether. But one of them is harboring a secret that could change everything.
