Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Haley Carston returns to Redbud Trails, Oklahoma, to care for her dying aunt. She thinks sheโs ready for this homecoming. Sheโs spent years escaping her perpetual shyness and being Katie Michaelsโ 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 forgotโKatieโs 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, heโs a burned-out cowboy working day and night to stay ahead of his brotherโs 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 canโt help remembering those dreams that died alongside his sister. Will being with Haley open his heart to new dreams?
