One week. One wedding. One more shot at forever.
Claire Bennet left Siloam Springs nearly twenty years ago with big dreams and no intention of looking back. Now one of Dallas's top wedding planners, she's built a life around picture perfect celebrations, and walls high enough to keep love at a safe distance.
But when a high profile wedding takes her back to her hometown, Claire's carefully planned week is thrown into chaos the second she steps onto Cedar Sky Ranch. That's when she comes face to face with Tyler Owens. Her first love. Her first heartbreak. The one man she's never quite been able to forget.
Tyler traded the thrill of chasing storms for the steady rhythm of life on his family's struggling ranch. He's poured everything into keeping it afloat, and the last thing he expected was for the girl who once stole his heart to be the one who might help save it.
With a wedding that could make or break the ranch's future, Claire and Tyler are forced to work side by side. As old memories spark and new feelings take root, they'll have to decide if this is just business or the beginning of the forever they've both been waiting for.
