Evan Walker is a cowboy who's lost it all. He gave up on hope and happiness long ago. Meg Truman is a tough single mom who doesn't know the meaning of quit. When these two cross paths, Evan discovers that love might still be worth fighting for. Evan has always been the strong, silent type, but now he's downright brooding. Still in agony over losing his wife and daughter two years ago, Evan's sole focus is keeping the ranch going. The last thing he wants is to open himself up to more heartbreak. So, he keeps to himself, until he meets a woman who seems to understand his pain.

Meg would give anything for a normal life, but her once-happy marriage crumbled under the strain of raising her special needs son. She's soldiering on, though, and she's even found a support team through White Pines Therapeutic Riding Center. Her son is finally thriving and the only thing missing in her life now is the one thing she doesn't have time for: Love.

What begins as a quiet friendship based on mutual compassion soon blossoms into something else. But another tragedy is on the horizon for the Walker family. Can these two broken hearts find a way to mend each other? Or will the world break them first?
