Shay Davis is desperate for a fresh start — not just for her, but for the new life growing inside of her. But when she arrives in the quiet mountain town of Wallowpine, Arizona, the cold, unforgiving forest ranger who pulls her over seems intent on running strangers out of town.
Hoping never to run into Officer Brooks Graham again, Shay cautiously carves out a place for herself in Wallowpine with the help of her elderly landlords and the decidedly friendlier neighbors, Levi and Nolan — Brooks’s brothers. Despite their best efforts to dodge each other, small-town life lets no heart go into hiding, and with every fresh baked banana bread loaf and dizzyingly beautiful hike, Shay and Brooks’s walls crumble just a little further.
But Shay has never truly believed in happily ever after — because no matter how convincing it seems, experience has taught her there can only be one outcome: loss. So, the only thing to do with new bridges is burn them before they burn you...
