Alice Templeton loves her job as a youth worker, making a difference in the lives of troubled kids. But behind her love for her career lies an unfulfilled dream: to find love, get married, and build a family. Growing up in the small town of Augathella, she watched all the good catches leave after high school, leaving her prospects dim.
Enter Billy Burke, a rugged stockman with a stubborn streak and a heart guarded by past hurts. When his stepson starts running wild, it's Alice who steps in, determined to set things right. But Billy isn't keen on anyone telling him how to handle his family, especially not a feisty youth worker who seems to challenge his every move.
As sparks fly and tempers flare, Alice and Billy find themselves at a crossroads. She's driven by a fierce commitment to her work and her longing for a family. He's determined to do whatever it takes to keep his stepson by his side, even if it means clashing with Alice.
Can two strong-willed souls find common ground and a chance at love? Or will the walls they've built around their hearts keep them from the happiness they both crave?
