Twelve years ago, equestrian Olympic hopeful Olivia Canaday and her best
friend, Jake Lassen, made a pinky-swear promise to reunite at the Big
Marietta Fair on her thirtieth birthday and marry each other if they
were both still single. But that was before they grew up and went their
separate ways.
Now, after a disastrous divorce and a career-changing accident,
Olivia limps home, minus her mojo, her courage and her faith in love.

ex-Army helicopter pilot Jake Lassen arrives to make good on their
promise, he reignites passion and hope, two things Olivia had forgotten
existed.
Olivia resolves to keep Jake at arm’s length, even though the memory
of his kisses keeps her up at night. She knows better than to let her
heart get involved, but Jake is planning for the future. Their future.
Can Jake convince her to risk it all one more time and really make this a
fair to remember? Views: 15
