A famous country singer seeking refuge in a quiet mountain town gets way more than she bargained for when she collides—literally—with a charming single dad who makes her forget all about playing it safe. Skylar Stone is used to controlling every aspect of her carefully curated life, but Weston Belmont and his two adorable kids have her happily spiraling into the kind of wild, impulsive love she never saw coming. As their connection deepens and West shows her what it feels like to be truly supported and cherished, Skylar finds herself genuinely considering the unthinkable: staying. The only problem is her glittering celebrity life might be incompatible with the grounded, peaceful future West wants to build with her—and neither of them is sure how to bridge that gap.
