A single mum's fresh start in Gold Valley, Oregon, comes with a cowboy from her past. Recently widowed and with two headstrong kids, Lauren Bishop wants three things – a break from her never–ending to–do list, a cup of coffee, and a moment to appreciate the gorgeous cowboy who just walked past her. Unfortunately, he catches her in the act... and he isn't a stranger. Calder Reid is more than intrigued when the sexy woman checking him out in the local coffee shop turns out to be the object of his boyhood fantasies. When he was a gawky kid, Lauren was a beautiful swan. But now he's more than man enough to satisfy her every need. The chemistry between them is undeniable, but can this hard riding cowboy convince commitment–shy Lauren to take a second chance on forever?
