Bradford Steel stands to inherit his family's ranch and wealth, but he has written off love as part of his future. The college senior expects marriage and children eventually, yet believes his heart will never truly be involved. Everything changes when he encounters Daphne Wade, a freshman who adores sunrises, animals, and anything yellow. Daphne has left behind the anxiety and depression that marked her high school years. She wants to embrace every moment of her newfound independence and find happiness in small pleasures. When Brad pursues her, Daphne decides to take the risk despite her inexperience. Their connection develops faster than either anticipated. Brad discovers that what he assumed was his destiny becomes something deeper and more meaningful. He commits to removing every barrier between them and shielding Daphne from harm. This vow will test him in ways he never imagined, demanding sacrifices he must be willing to make.
