Youngest sibling and only sister, Kim Luchetti comes home to Illinois following her father’s heart attack. Eight years ago she vowed never to return, believing only distance would allow her to forget the tragedy that broke her heart. But returning means she must face Brian Riley, her first love and the only one who knows her secret.

Despite Brian’s hurt and anger over Kim’s abandoning him when he needed her the most, Brian has never stopped loving her. When she appears at his farm, surprise causes him to tumble off the barn roof and break both his wrists. Kim’s guilt makes her agree to move in and help until he’s healed. But Kim never wanted to be a farmer’s wife and her lack of skills produces daily hilarious disasters.

Laughing together, living together forces Kim and Brian to face the past and their unresolved feelings. Will talking about what happened help them heal? Or will the memories of their heartbreak keep them from their second chance?
