Lily Germaine was expecting a best man...and got a brooding cowboy. Lily would do anything for her best friend, Jen, and that includes helping Jen's soon-to-be brother-in-law, Noah, when he returns to Larch Valley with a prosthetic and a chip on his shoulder the size of the Rockies. Even if it means being paired up with him at the wedding. Noah isn't in the mood for help, but it's hard to resist the beautiful Lily, especially when she refuses to feel sorry for him. Sympathy is the last thing he needs, and being with her makes him feel alive again. What Noah really needs is a purpose-and when an opportunity arises for him to return to the military, he starts to see a future with Lily, too. But is Lily ready to step away from her carefully built life into an uncertain future?
