Can a fake reunion grow into true love? Private detective Zeph Granger’s life is in the concrete canyons of the city, so he’s never been near a four-legged animal. Veterinarian Allie Wentworth is a small-town girl who loves horses and couldn’t care less about fancy cars and elegant dinners. Opposites may attract, but that doesn’t mean a relationship will last. And theirs didn’t. When Zeph is sent to the tiny mountain town of Stone’s Crossing to locate a drug smuggler, he knows he’ll have to see Allie again. Problem one is that she dumped him. Problem two is that he hasn’t been able to forget her. Problem three is that he’ll need her help to flush his target out into the open without alienating the whole town. Unwillingly, she agrees to his pretense of a reunion between them as the reason for his unexpected visit Zeph is committed to leaving when his job is done, but his feelings for Allie are overwhelming him. Allie knows he’ll leave, but she can’t help falling for him. Again. What will it take to convince Two reluctant lovers they’re meant for each other when the whole town expects a happy ending?
