Raven Lynch left Winter Valley prepared to make it big on Wall Street. But five years later, she's returned for a high school reunion with nothing more than waitress change in her pocket. When she stumbles into Berch Lindholm, her future brightens. The boy she's always loved has turned into a man who makes her heart flip, and he's doing more than pulling her pigtails in return. Maybe coming home isn't such a bad option after all.

Berch Lindholm has known Raven was his true mate since he was three years old. Biding his time until she was ready to know the truth has been his lifelong cross to bear. When she returns to Winter Valley, Berch knows it's time to act and claim what's his. But fate has other ideas, and Berch must fight for the love of his life or lose her forever.
