A widowed rancher and his late husband's younger brother find themselves drawn into a forbidden age-gap romance neither of them knows how to resist.
Cormac Iverson knows what it means to lose everything.
After the death of his husband, he's left to keep their Montana ranch running, care for his cattle, and hold together a family still struggling with grief. He's learned to live with the silence, the long days, and the memories. The last thing he needs is a complication he cannot control.
Ellery Kinnear knows he should keep his distance.
A veterinarian and the younger brother of Cormac's late husband, Ellery returns to the ranch carrying his own grief and a lifetime of complicated family ties. He comes to help, not to stay. But working alongside Cormac brings old feelings to the surface and creates an attraction neither man is prepared to face.
What begins as an uneasy arrangement soon becomes something neither can ignore. But with family loyalties, buried grief, and the memory of the man they both loved standing between them, wanting each other may come at a price neither is ready to pay.
Sometimes the hardest thing isn't learning to love again. It's allowing yourself to.
