They can't outrun destiny. A stand-alone story by New York Times bestselling Author Vivian Arend. When Fern Fields heads out on a trail ride with Cody Gabrielle-the quiet ranch foreman at Red Boot ranch-she has no idea how well they'll click. Cody's steady charm and quick wit are enticing, and Fern wonders if destiny might have a slightly dusty cowboy in mind for her sometime down the road. By the time their friendship bursts into a full-blown relationship, everyone's so used to seeing them together they're practically hiding in plain sight.
The secret is part of the fun-a little mystery tucked into their everyday routine. But just as Cody begins to picture a future with the woman who makes everything brighter, life throws him a curve he never expected. Suddenly, it's not just about falling in love-it's about whether love is strong enough to weather the unknown and still stand steady on the other side.
