Their hot New Year's Eve wasn't supposed to have consequences...

Fiercely independent after a difficult childhood, Ilke Lunquist devotes herself to one thing: skiing. She's on the cusp of gold when an unexpected pregnancy throws her future into chaos.

Nathaniel Hart takes on the daunting project of restoring Whiskey Jack Ski Resort to be close to his young son, but with one failed marriage behind him, he avoids serious relationships.

They might be virtual strangers with only a baby in common, but Nate is determined to be part of his child's life. Ilke didn't become a champion by ever backing down from a challenge, especially not one where her child's happiness and her own heart are on the line. When tragedy strikes, heartbreak draws them closer together. Nate discovers he's more than ready for a bigger family and maybe, just maybe, Ilke will find the home that has eluded her all her life.

~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?

His Last Stand

13 parts Ongoing Mature

Liz never expected to start over on a small-town farm, and Randy never thought he'd be betrayed by the people he trusted most. But after a road trip to Iowa, everything changes-Randy gets dumped and finds out his twin brother got his ex pregnant. Looking for an escape, he agrees to stay with Liz for two weeks, helping her get the farm up and running. What starts as two wounded souls rebuilding their lives turns into something deeper. But when a brutal fight with his family leaves Randy with nowhere to go, one drunken night leads to an impulsive marriage. They agree to roll with it-after all, the military benefits aren't too bad. Then Randy is deployed again, and when he returns, everything is different. Injured in action, he comes home missing a leg, and Liz is the only one there to pick up the pieces. As she battles her own demons, they must learn if love can grow in the hardest of circumstances. A slow-burn romance about healing, heartbreak, and finding yourself after trauma.
