"Scottsdale, Arizona, May 1888: A year and a half after Chaim McCutcheon was essentially left at the altar--for reasons he's yet to discover--one steadfast aim remains firm in his mind and heart. Never again. He left his home and family, and all he held dear, in Rio Wells, Texas, with the intention not to return until every nuance of Emmeline Jordan had been burned from his soul by the blazing Arizona sun. He's adjusted to his solitary life on his rustic desert ranch, so different from the sprawling Rim Rock in Texas. Forgetting Emmeline may take some doing, but time is one thing Chaim has in spades. Can an invite to Y Knot for a surprise family gathering for his Uncle Flood entice Chaim to change his decision and reunite with his family, who are also journeying to Montana? His pride and his walled-off heart say no chance of that. Perhaps the unexpected appearance of Tessa Webb, a determined young woman on a quest of love, might do the trick."--
