A runaway bride. A broken-hearted ranch. And the boy who never stopped loving her.

Billie Rae Gunther is about to make the biggest sacrifice of her life—marrying the wrong man to save the Broken Heart Ranch. After losing the people she loves most, Billie is determined to protect her family’s legacy in Sweetheart, Texas… even if it means giving up on her own dreams.

Everything changes when Nick Latham rides back into town.

Nick is her brother’s best friend. Her first love. And the one man who makes her question the future she’s chosen. When Billie’s mother asks Nick to walk her down the aisle and give her away, old feelings resurface—and the past refuses to stay buried.

As wedding plans collide with long-held secrets, Billie and Nick must decide whether love is worth risking everything they’ve worked so hard to protect.
