Weighting...

What happens when love shows up in an unexpected package? What's more important…the love or the form it takes? Wyatt Smothers, a retired rodeo cowboy, runs the family ranch with his two siblings. Since losing their parents, they've tried more than one scheme to get the ranch into the black to no avail. When Wyatt's sister introduces the family to her next great idea, Wyatt's not sold on the premise, but he's outvoted. While preparing for the first weight loss camp session, Wyatt reads an essay by one of the applicants, spurring a change of heart. U-4-NY pours her heart into her response, and Wyatt can't stop himself from violating one of the rules-no personal communications with the campers. When the first two-week camp begins, Wyatt's certain he's in love, ignoring his niece's reminders that the U in the applicant identifier stands for unknown gender. He's in love with the camper, and nothing can change his mind. Will he still feel the same when he set eyes on U-4-NY? Talbot Andrews isn't living his best life. He's twenty-seven, residing in his parents' basement, and growing out of his wardrobe. Oh, and he's still a virgin. Tal stumbles upon an ad for a weight loss camp in Texas hill country, feeling a spark of hope as he peruses the photos. He signs up, being perfectly honest on the application regarding why he wants to lose weight. One day, an email lands in his inbox from W. Smothers of Smothers Ranch. The writer's kind words touch Tal's heart, and they begin a pen pal relationship that motivates Tal to pursue his goal: Go to Texas, meet the cowboy, and live happily ever after. Is that too much for a man to ask? Sam E. Kraemer grew up in a small town in the Midwest. She met a handsome young man who swept her off her feet and to the East Coast where she lives with her family and an aging Yorkshire Terrier named Gus. Sam remains ever grateful to have hit the cosmic jackpot with the life she lives and gives thanks to the Universe every day for it.

Would things ever slow down and allow Wyatt to laugh with the blond he wants to be the center of his future, his forever?
