She grew up barefoot on his family's ranch, her heart tangled up with her best friend long before she knew the difference between friendship and forever.
Maysen was her first friend, her first crush, her first love. What bloomed between them was tender, electric, undeniable-the kind of once-in-a-lifetime love that feels written in the stars. But one misunderstood moment, one devastating decision, sends Rylie running without a goodbye, trading wide Idaho skies for the glittering promise of New York.
Twenty years later, Rylie returns home a wife and mother after a call about Del-the woman who raised her-forces her back to the place she swore she'd never revisit. The ranch is smaller than she remembers. The memories aren't. And Maysen? He's no longer the boy she left behind... he's a man carved from heartbreak, loyalty, and unfinished love.
Now every glance burns. Every touch resurrects. Every whispered memory threatens the vows she's made.
Was their love a youthful illusion... or the one great passion she was never meant to escape?
Coming home might heal old wounds, but it could also shatter everything she's built.
