Dylan and Rhett were childhood best friends-ride or die, thick as thieves-but time and distance have a way of changing things, as well as stubborn pride and the inability to express certain feelings. They tried to stay in touch, but it became increasingly difficult as their lives went in very separate ways. Teenagers grow up into adults, and sometimes they grow apart. She went to art school in New York City and got engaged. He enlisted in the Army as a combat engineer. Over a decade after their high school graduation, both are back living in their hometown for the first time, and they're both dealing with their own mountains to climb. Dylan broke things off with her abusive ex-fiance. Rhett lost a leg in Afghanistan. Will they get back what they used to have, or will something more blossom now that they're all grown up? Can they help each other heal?

Carly Atwood always remembered the man that used to live in the loft above the barn when she was a little girl. John was her childhood crush, he was the guy she wrote about in her diary, and when he left her in his army greens, he was the first man she ever cried for. Nine years later, Carly isn't the eleven year-old girl John left behind. She grew up and moved on with her life, taking over the Atwood Ranch following her father's death. John isn't the man he used to be either; physically and emotionally scarred following his last deployment in Afghanistan, John is returning to the only place he ever called home, back to the loft above the barn and to the pretty blonde girl that's been holding onto his dog tags for all these years. ----- Title inspired by the song of the same name by Tim McGraw.
