Ten years ago, they almost kissed.
This summer, almost won’t be enough.

Wren Calder is working to build a horse program at her family’s Montana ranch when Luke Bennett returns for a summer job. Shared work becomes small-town dates and a chance to revisit the almost they left behind.

With a tight budget and summer’s end approaching, Wren and Luke must make room for two ambitions—and a future together.
