She's the black sheep of a wealthy family; he's a down-to-earth farmer's son. She's running from her past; he's building his future. It's just a summer fling...that's what she keeps saying anyway.

Audrey

I was born an Elson, which meant two things: I had more money than I could ever spend, and my entire life was planned before I could even walk.

As the black sheep, I've spent my life struggling under the weight of my family's expectations. But marrying a high-profile man was supposed to be my ticket to belonging - until he pulled the rug out from under me.

Still, I never doubted my path. Until a ruggedly handsome stranger found me broken and crying on my rooftop.

He became my secret and my undoing.

Rhett

After my dad passed, only one choice made sense - stay in my small hometown of Roseville and be the man my family needed.

It's been ten years-but I had my patch of land, my friends, a business that was finally finding its feet, and a dog my sister insisted I get so I don't "die alone."

But then Audrey came along. The moment I saw her, my simple life got complicated.

Audrey was the kind of woman a man made plans for, the kind who made you dream of something bigger. But she was from a world I couldn't touch-one I clearly didn't belong in.

I had nothing to offer her, not really. But that didn't stop me from giving her everything I had.
