CeCe Ashby moves back to her family's Kentucky horse ranch after ending a long, toxic engagement, hoping for a quiet fresh start. Instead she keeps running into Nash Carter, a retired NHL star and her older brother's lifelong best friend, and the old teasing tension between them turns into something much hotter. As they try to keep their growing relationship secret from her overprotective family, both have to work through old grief and fear of losing what they've found. It's a small-town, brother's-best-friend romance built around found family, humor, and slowly building trust.
