Gabriel Spicer can't wait to get out of this town and his cousin's fixed-up shed, far away from his clingy ex. He works at the Mieles' farm produce stall to save up for the big move to Houston, where his life will get better. But meeting his high school crush all over again throws his careful plans awry.

What he needs is shelter... here, in Orion's arms. Welcome to Hidden Creek, Texas, where the heart knows what it wants, and where true love lives happily ever after.
