Eloise Harrison hasn't called Montana home in ten years. Not since she traded her father's ranch for New York City, built a law firm from the ground up, and created a life that left little room for looking backward. But when her father dies, Eloise is forced to return to the place she thought she'd left behind for good. Her plan is simple: settle the estate, sell the ranch, and get back to New York. Then she meets Ellison. Their first meeting happens miles from the Harrison ranch, where neither of them bothers with last names. He's handsome, infuriatingly calm, and somehow makes Eloise forget-for just a moment-why she came home in the first place. Until she discovers Ellison Baker is the man who has been running her father's ranch. And apparently has been for years. Ellison knows something about leaving a life behind. Born into an old-money New York family and once at the helm of its successful company, he walked away from it all after his wife abandoned him and their five-year-old daughter, Adeline. Five years later, ten-year-old "Linnie" is the center of his world. Montana is home. And the Harrison ranch has become far more than a job. It's the place where he and his daughter learned how to begin again. Now Eloise has returned with every intention of selling it. She thinks Ellison is standing between her and the life waiting for her in New York. Ellison thinks she's about to sell the one place that finally gave him and Linnie a home. But somewhere between arguments over the future of the ranch, a little girl who quickly finds her way into Eloise's heart, and the pieces of her father's life she never knew existed, the home Eloise was so determined to leave begins to feel different. And for the first time in ten years, she has to wonder if coming back was ever really about letting go. Or if her father left her one last reason to stay.
