Running a farm and a business leaves John Elliott with little patience for company, and he prefers it that way.
Single mother Quinn Harper picks a quiet small town for a fresh start with her daughter, until her first run-in with John proves the welcome will not be easy.
They clash hard and agree that staying apart is the smartest choice.

Shared smiles turn friction into a banked heat, then into a blaze neither of them planned.
What they tried to refuse now feels impossible to live without.
