Coming home to Montana wasn’t on country superstar, Cal Bridgestone’s agenda. But when his older brother is badly injured in an accident, he has no choice. With a family that’s scattered, a young niece to look after and an estranged father to deal with, he shouldn’t be thinking about his old flame, Millie Sue Jenkins. Seeing her stirs up all kinds of stuff. Their history is tricky, and starting up where they left off is probably not a good idea. So why can’t he stay away? Millie Sue gave her heart to Cal when she was seventeen, and he still has it. She’d love to hate him for leaving Big Bend and breaking her spirit, but all she feels is want and need. Starting up with him isn’t a good idea—he will hurt her. Because Cal Bridgestone outgrew Big Bend a long time ago and belongs in a world of celebrity, music, and superstardom. He will leave again. And this time, she’s got to make sure her heart doesn’t go with him…

Vivienne Bridgestone, the black sheep of the family, ran away from Montana at seventeen and didn’t stop until she landed in Alaska. A family torn apart and a broken heart kept her away, but now the past has come back to haunt her and only one man can fix what’s broken. Will she finally surrender and let him? Dallas Henhawk, foreman of the Triple B, runs the ranch with the same steeliness that’s in his veins. The kind that allowed his forefathers to survive in the wilderness when others didn’t. He’s never needed much and when the only woman who managed to poke a hole in his heart reappears, he’s not prepared. Suddenly he wants more. He wants her to stay. Will their past allow it to happen?
