Eight years ago, Tyler Donnelly left Wishing River, Montana, after a terrible fight with his father and swore heād never return. But when his father has a stroke, guilt and duty drive him home, and nothing is as he remembersāāfrom the run-down ranch to Lainey Sullivan, who is all grown up now. And darn if he canāt seem to stay away. Laineyās 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 sheās in trouble. But she owes his dad everything, and sheās determined to show Ty what it means to be part of a small town...and part of a family. Laineyās courage pushes Ty to want to make Wishing River into a home againātogether. But one of them is harboring a secret that could change everything.
