From first love to rival bids…

To forever?

Newly retired pro quarterback Josh Golden returns to Ruby Canyon, Wyoming, to open a kids’ football camp. Except Erin Perkins, his high school sweetheart, is bidding on the same property—the Triangle W ranch. Erin manages the Triangle W and wants to keep it as a working ranch for military veterans like herself as they adjust to leaving the service. Josh hasn’t seen Erin in fourteen years, but he’s thought about her. A lot. Even in spite of their land dispute, she still charms and challenges him. As the ranch’s fate divides the town, Josh finds himself facing the biggest decision of his life—fulfill a longheld career dream or rekindle a love sweeter than any 99-yard touchdown?
