About this listen

He's the grumpy farmer stuck in a rut. She's the city girl who changes everything.

Mollie Wilson has everything she's supposed to want—a stable job at her family's company, a fiancé, and a high rise in the heart of Nashville. But the noise, the rush, and the expectations all leave her longing for the quiet peace of her grandfather's farm, the last place she remembers being truly happy. When her family reveals that the farm wasn't sold off after all and was left in a trust for her, she's torn. They want her to sell it to fund her future, but she's starting to wonder if she'll truly be happy with a life in the city.

For ten years, Cain Smith has lived and worked on Bennie Grove Farm alone—until a stunning city girl claiming to be the owner breaks into his house and turns his quiet, controlled world upside down. He doesn't trust her, but he's sure that his surly attitude will cause her to leave, just like everyone else has. She's a distraction he doesn't need, not when he's trying to single-handedly run the farm and raise his young nephew, the only family he has left.

When trouble comes knocking at the farmhouse door, Mollie and Cain are both faced with an uncomfortable question—can they learn to rely on each other, or will they keep running from their pasts? But no matter what they choose, they know that nothing will ever be as it was again.

Contains mature themes.
