The first time we met, he “arrested” me.

The second time, he tied my hands behind my back wearing only a cowboy hat and a thong.

Our wild night together was supposed to be nothing more than a bachelorette party dare in Nashville. Kiss a cowboy? Check. But sexy “cowboy” Hudson turned out to be more than a one-night stand.

When Hudson shows up in my hometown of Kitchi Falls to clear his head and find his path, the chemistry between us reignites. His rugged charm and tender heart make it impossible to remember why we can’t be together.

But my overprotective brothers hate his profession, and my friends warn me that big-hearted Hudson will break mine, especially now that his dream record deal is within reach.

Meanwhile, I’m deeply rooted in the Finger Lakes, co-owning my family’s winery with no plans to leave. When disaster strikes at Grado Valley Vineyards, everything changes.

Suddenly, my brothers’ disapproval is the least of our problems, and the distance between Hudson’s country music dreams and my small-town life feels impossible to overcome.
