Jamie Parker moved to Willow Creek three years ago, but that might as well have been yesterday in a town where families go back generations and gossip travels faster than rodeo dirt. She's always been on the outside looking in, saving every penny for a dream dress and a chance to belong, if only for one night, finally. Then an emergency shatters everything she’s worked for, and suddenly prom isn’t even a question; it’s a punchline. That is, until Austin Walker steps in. Her best friend’s older brother. Local golden boy. The last person who should notice a girl like her. But when small-town expectations collide with real connection, Jamie learns that fitting in isn’t everything—and sometimes the most unforgettable nights aren’t the ones you plan. A heartfelt coming-of-age romance full of cowboy charm, slow-burn chemistry, and one magical night under the stars. For fans of Laura Pavlov, Jodi Thomas, and readers who love a rugged boy with a soft side.
