A rancher, a waitress, and an unexpected bond...
Finn Miller has been working tirelessly since his uncle retired, leaving him in charge of Apple Blossom Ranch. However, there's a catch: Finn must get married by his thirtieth birthday, or the ranch will be sold, ending generations of his family's legacy. When he meets Patty, the sweet waitress at the local diner, he's immediately drawn to her-but telling her about his deadline feels like betraying the trust she's slowly learning to give.
Patty Walsh moved to Piney Brook to escape an abusive ex-husband, seeking a fresh start in the small town. But starting over isn't as simple as she hoped. When Finn becomes a regular at Beats and Eats, his genuine kindness and easy smile begin to thaw the walls around her heart. For the first time in years, she's beginning to believe she might deserve something good.
What begins as friendship blossoms into something deeper, but when Finn's secret comes to light, will Patty see it as proof that she was right to guard her heart? Or will she trust that some love stories are worth fighting for?
