There's no such thing as love at first sight...

Verity Reynolds is just visiting the small town of Dènaud for the summer.  Trying to put the pieces of her life back together after the loss of her father, she's determined to finally finish her Master's degree and start life after school.  She's focused and driven and keeps telling herself that she'll be ready to return home by summer's end once she's completed her research.  But then, she meets Noah.

Noah Sawyer, who runs Clarence House, a local ranch, believes he's simply offering temporary lodging to a group of stranded students.  Having already gone through a failed relationship, he's not looking for anything new.  Then he meets Verity, and there's a magnetic pull between them he just can't ignore.

Verity, meanwhile, is caught off guard by the intensity of Noah's attention.  She's not looking for a distraction, but the undeniable chemistry between them makes it impossible to stay indifferent.

This gripping romance is a journey through desire, trust, and the courage to embrace a love that changes everything.
