Colt: I spend every day trying to outrun the guilt that lives in my chest. After losing my brother, I turned this ranch into a prison and myself into its guard. I do not want help. I do not want change. The stubborn city girl who shows up to restore our old lodge is the last thing I need. Still, Sadie Reilly does more than fix broken walls. She starts tearing down the ones around my heart. The thought of her finishing the job and walking away terrifies me more than I want to admit. Sadie: I come to Montana to restore a crumbling lodge, not a brooding, wounded rancher. From the moment I meet Colt Wilder, I know he needs saving just as much as the house does. He is gruff and closed off, determined to push me away at every turn. The more he resists, the more I want to stay. Somewhere between the arguments and the quiet moments, I stop seeing him as a project and start seeing him as the man I am falling for.
