From best friends, to high school sweethearts, to barely talking… He knows he was a fool to let her go. Unfortunately, it’s going to take a miracle to convince her to give him a second chance.

Brody Anderson and Star Corrigan made all the superlatives in their high school yearbook, right down to being voted the Most Romantic Couple. But life happened, tragedy struck, and they drifted apart. No, it’s actually worse than that. He allowed his pride to push her away.

Now that he’s back on his feet after a near-crippling accident and his ranch is finally turning a profit, Brody can’t get Star out of his mind. More than anything, he wants her back. It won’t be easy convincing her to date him again, though — especially while running the new bed-and-breakfast on his ranch. Not to mention how much of his time his newfound cousin, Crew, is demanding these days after a few brushes with the law. Nor is he overly thrilled about Crew’s former prison buddy who’s been hanging around and the trouble he brings.

But it’s more than a matter of finding the perfect time and opportunity to romance Star. Will she be able to trust him again? Can she believe he has what it takes to stand by her and fight for her this time around, like he does again and again for his family? And is he capable of loving her the way she’s never stopped hoping and dreaming he will love her someday?
