Jocelyn has always believed she has her life under control. A successful career, a beautiful apartment, a company BMW and all the little luxuries she has come to take for granted. But when trouble at work leaves her suddenly unemployed, the comfortable life she has built begins to unravel with alarming speed.
Without her salary or company car, and with tens of thousands of dollars of debt she can no longer ignore, Jocelyn is forced to admit that she has been living well beyond her means.
When a friend offers her somewhere to stay in a small country town, Jocelyn reluctantly accepts. It is meant to be temporary-a chance to catch her breath, sort out her finances and decide what comes next.
Instead of cocktails and city life, she finds herself surrounded by farm animals, taking whatever odd jobs she can find and living in an outdated little studio above a local bar. Her BMW has been replaced by a bicycle, her spending habits by a budget, and the life she once carefully curated by something altogether less polished.
Yet, as the weeks pass, Jocelyn begins to discover unexpected pleasures in the life she never planned to have. New friendships take root, money begins to mean something different, and the small town she was so certain she didn't belong in starts to feel increasingly difficult to leave.
Especially with two very different-and very eligible-men giving her reasons to stay.
Jocelyn came to the country because she had nowhere else to go. She never expected that losing the life she thought she wanted might help her discover the one she actually needs.
