When her groom doesn’t show up to the wedding, Camille Ashwood’s life is turned upside down. She doesn’t even have a place to live. Then she finds out that the house she’s loved since high school is available to rent. There’s only one problem: the neighbor. Dusty Tucker has spent nearly all of his adult life running from Cam. But ever since he returned home last year, the girl who was his first, well, everything has become a woman seemingly determined to keep him at arm’s length. Still, Dusty wants to show her that they can be friends. Despite her best attempts to stay far away from Dusty, Cam realizes that being close to him is like slipping into her favorite jeans. Easy. Comfortable. That is, until past wounds start to open, and feelings --- both old and new --- wreak havoc.

Teddy Andersen is used to being a leader, but now she feels like she’s getting left behind, wondering if life in the small town she loves is enough for her anymore. Gus Ryder doesn’t know what’s harder: taking care of his family’s 8,000-acre ranch, or parenting his spunky six-year-old daughter, who is staying with him for the summer. When his workload starts to overwhelm him, he has to admit that he can’t manage everything on his own. He needs help. His little sister’s best friend, the woman he can’t stand, is not who he had in mind. But when no one else can step in, Teddy is the only option he has. Tempers flare, tension builds, and for the first time ever, Gus and Teddy start to see each other in a different light. As new feelings start to simmer below the surface, they must decide if they should act on them.
