This city girl thought Pine Creek was just a temporary stop. But the cowboy with a guarded heart might just convince her that home is exactly where she belongs -- if she's willing to stay.

Mya Evans has made some mistakes in her life, and losing her dream job in the city feels like the biggest one yet. Coming back to Pine Creek with her tail between her legs isn't how she pictured her life going. A summer job at Pine Creek Ranch is supposed to be temporary, just until she figures out her next move back to civilization.

The last thing she needs is a distraction. Especially one that comes in the form of a brooding, impossibly handsome cowboy who seems determined to keep her at arm's length.

Adam Carlson has worked hard to become the man his family can count on. After a troubled past that nearly cost him everything, he's rebuilt his life one day at a time through sweat, discipline, and unwavering loyalty to the ranch and his father.

He's got his future mapped out, and it doesn't include complications. Especially not ones that look like Mya Evans, with her big-city dreams and her temporary plans.

But as summer days turn into long nights under the Pine Creek stars, and Mya proves she's tougher than he gave her credit for, Adam finds his carefully built walls starting to crumble. She challenges everything he thought he wanted, and makes him wonder if maybe there's room in his plans for something -- someone -- he never saw coming.

Mya came to Pine Creek to regroup and move on. She didn't expect to fall for the land, the life, or the cowboy who's showing her that sometimes the best dreams are the ones you never planned for.

But can a summer fling turn into forever? Or will their different worlds pull them apart before they get the chance to find out?
