Abbie Linley loves her small-town life. Leaving for college may be the next step for her friends, but she's not ready to walk away from the horses. She'd happily keep her world the same, but everything around her seems to be changing.

Starting with her gruff, new farrier.

Carson Daniels's only job is to shoe horses, but he gets more than he bargained for when he shows up at the Linley's barn. The last thing he needs is to get distracted by the owner's beautiful daughter-even if she's the only good thing he can say about Florida.

It would never work. She has a boyfriend. And he's leaving.

Between his dry sense of humor and her ever-growing realization that her boyfriend isn't all he's cracked up to be, Abbie and Carson can't seem to stay away from each other.

Abbie thought she had realistic expectations about love. Carson went and raised the bar on all of them. She would never ask him to stay for her. He won't ask her to go with him. But they'll make the most of the time they have left.

It's only one summer, but maybe that's okay-maybe they can put it all behind them.

Or maybe it will fuel a love they could never forget.
