Does one’s circumstances in high school really affect the rest of their lives? For a lot of people, yes. But Laura Oakley turned out to be a lucky one. Happy with her career as an attorney, the last thing Laura expected was to have the universe pulling all of its strings to land her back in Riverbird—one, the fact that her best friend who lived there needed her the most. And two, a high-profile property case that she was having a hard time turning down. But when she finally lands in Riverbird, she quite literally crashes into Nathan Branch, the man that had brought her the property case. Nathan and his brother Joey want nothing to do with Riverbird Ranch anymore and decide to fly down to finally cut ties with the family and cousins who had abandoned them at their worst. Sparks fly between tall, dark, and brooding Laura who doesn’t believe in love, and a more easy-going Nathan. They say opposites attract, but do the opposites end up crashing and burning? Or do they nurture each other? Will Laura overcome the fears she developed in all of her parentless teenage years? Will Nathan stand firm in shaking his family’s core, or will his and his brothers’ earlier resolve dwindle in the face of what they thought wanted to leave behind?
