Ellie Laing has a very good reason to want to stay single: her last relationship put her in danger. And she's worried that while the physical scars will heal, the emotional ones never can. So, travelling to Kansas for her best friend Sandy's wedding, Ellie's in need of some time alone. And Sandy's brother Ben's rural and idyllic ranch seems like the perfect place for it. Ben comes with his own baggage - a failed marriage in his past, and a big question mark over his future - and he knows the feelings he had for Ellie belong firmly in the history books. But, sitting on his porch with her, he's never felt more at home. Both of them swore they were better off alone... yet is it possible that two broken hearts could come together to heal?
