Emily Murphy always wanted a traditional life--husband and kids and making the perfect home. But when her husband leaves just after her third miscarriage, she's forced to find a new kind of "perfect." If only she knew what that was. Determined to have a family, even if it means adopting as a single mom, Emily needs money and so returns to her late mom's hometown to sell an old storefront that once belonged to her grandmother. But no sooner then she steps foot in Valentine, Emily is thrown for another loop, this time by an unexpected, steamy encounter with broody rancher Nate Thalberg.
Nate is no stranger to betrayal, and has good reason not to trust the determined beauty who just waltzed into town. He has enough on his hands with his family's ranch and the gaggle of elderly aunts living next door, and certainly doesn't have time for distractions. Against their most fervent intentions they're soon working side-by-side on repairs and getting too close for comfort. Emily's dreams almost destroyed her, and she's not about to fall in love again; and Nate knows how desperation for money can change people. But their both about to learn how difficult it is to avoid love in a town known for romance and happily-ever-after: Valentine, Colorado.
