Charlie Hayes never expected to work side by side with the man who broke her heart eleven years ago-especially not on her family's ranch that now includes the land his family lost. When her sister hires Ethan Cole as their new foreman, Charlie is forced to confront both her painful past and the undeniable spark that still ignites whenever they're together. The sprawling Montana landscape that once witnessed their young love now bears silent testimony to their shared regrets and unspoken truths. For Ethan, returning to Eagle Bluff means facing the woman he never stopped loving and the consequences of choices made long ago. Each fence mended and each horse trained becomes both penance and possibility as they navigate the narrow space between resentment and reconciliation. But when Ethan discovers a long-buried secret about his family's loss of the Broken Arrow Ranch, everything changes. What if what tore them apart wasn't what either of them believed? What if God's plan for restoration is greater than either could have imagined? Under Montana's vast sky, where eagles soar and second chances take courage, Charlie and Ethan must decide if faith can heal what pride once broke, and if a love weathered by time might be the strongest foundation of all. Sometimes coming home means finding the heart you left behind.
