Could saving the ranch… Mean a future together? Cowgirl Cassie Diaz has a secret — a bull riding accident may have stolen her dream of motherhood. She needs to recover, but how can she rest with her family's ranch in peril? Recent Second Chance, Idaho, arrival Bentley Monroe offers help, and his quiet strength makes her feel safe. Loving him could heal her wounds, but would she have a future with this family man?
