When free-spirited Lyssa Smith exposes a plot devised by "Tank" Turnbull, a powerful land developer, he and his conspirators seek to save themselves by ruining her career . . . and her life. Lyssa may be able to salvage her dream of saving her parents' farm with the help of elusive businessman Dane Callicott, but getting tangled up with him jeopardizes Lyssa's last hope of ridding herself of her weighty responsibilities.
Grappling with the failure of his latest venture, the unconventional Highline Resort, Dane is presented with another maverick proposition, but to carry it off he'll need Lyssa's support. Will Dane be able to listen to his muse and risk his family's fortune on another visionary project, or will he be forced to return to the financially safe but environmentally destructive business practices of his father?
Shackled by family expectations, battered by a series of betrayals, and blinded by impossible choices, Dane and Lyssa might lose their one chance for happiness—unless together they can blaze a new trail forward.
