Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Haley Carston returns to
Redbud Trails, Oklahoma, to care for her dying aunt. She
thinks she’s ready for this homecoming. She’s spent years
escaping her perpetual shyness and being Katie Michaels’
tag-along friend, but being back in her hometown brings back
a lot of old memories, especially when she is faced with the
cowboy she never forgot—Katie’s older brother, Maddox.
Twelve years ago, Maddox Michaels was supposed to be
somebody. He had everything. A football scholarship. A
Division I team scouting him. Maybe even a chance at the
pros. Now, he’s a burned-out cowboy working day and night to
stay ahead of his brother’s medical bills and keep their
family farm from going bankrupt. And trying to be a
father-figure for his niece, Olivia.
When Haley and Olivia start spending time together, Maddox
can’t help remembering those dreams that died alongside his
sister. Will being with Haley open his heart to new dreams?
