Camille Ashwood stands in her wedding dress, but her groom never shows. Her careful plan to marry for security crumbles, leaving her without a home or a future in Meadowlark, Wyoming. She finds the perfect rental house, the one she's loved since high school. Then she discovers her neighbor is Dusty Tucker, the man she's spent years avoiding. Dusty has been running from Camille since their first relationship ended badly. He returned to town last year but kept his distance while she planned her wedding. Now she's single and living next door. He wants to prove they can be friends, that he won't run again. Camille tries to keep Dusty at arm's length, but being near him feels natural and comfortable. Old wounds surface as new feelings complicate everything between them. Ten years after they first met, both wonder if their teenage love could become something lasting. This time, they must decide if they're ready to risk their hearts again.
