As a young widow and mother to a three-year-old boy, Sarah Millsâs life is complicated, becoming more so when her high school sweetheart, Daniel, moves back to Montana. He left her behind after graduation and she married his brother, only needing Danielâs services as a sperm donor when she and her husband couldnât conceive. Now Daniel's offering her a job as resort managerâbut he wants to be part of her sonâs life.
Recently retired from pro football, Daniel Hunter is tired of holding on to secrets. He badly wants a relationship with his biological son, and a second chance with the woman he never stopped loving. He builds a first-rate eco resort in Sweetheart, Montana, to give him a shot at a new life post football and proposes to Sarah, thinking itâs the most practical choice for all three of them.
Daniel still makes Sarahâs heart skip a beat, but heâs left her behind once already. Sheâs convinced he wonât stay this time, either, and now itâs not just her heart at risk.
