Twelve years ago, Britt Fraser left Con McKay at the lowest point in his life. She's been back to Broken Wheel a couple of times since, but kept her distance.
This time she's back for a month, and once again at a low point in his life. He doesn't want to hear her apologies, or her excuses.
Britt loves her life in Houston as an event planner, and she hadn't been excited to come back to the town where she grew up, the town she left after a tragedy broke her. Hadn't been excited to see the friends she'd left behind.
The boy she'd left behind.
A man now.
When she is asked to help plan the town's Fourth of July celebration, Britt solicits the help of Con's mom Alexis, who has been a virtual hermit since the loss of her daughter. Because Alexis is reluctant to leave the ranch, Britt spends a lot of time at the McKay home.
All this time together pushes him to remember everything they'd once dreamed for themselves, and makes him remember the girl he'd loved-and get to know the woman she's become.
As the time comes for her to go back to Houston, to her life, she has to decide-does she have a future in her past?
