Drowning in medical expenses, she knows she will spend the rest of her life working to pay them off. With her friend living with her new family hundreds of miles away, the only people Margie has to rely on is the elderly couple she rents from.or so she thinks. who never forgot one another. Chase Markum never forgot his best friend Margie after his family moved away when they were in junior high.
He spent his days working on a ranch and his evenings searching for her, unable to find any leads as to where she might be, until he stumbles across her mother's obituary. Knowing that Margie's alone, Chase races to be at her side. But after all these years, can they be more than friends? Chase sees the exhaustion Margie carries, and when she collapses after her mother's funeral, he insists she recuperate at his ranch.
In the days and weeks that pass, Margie learns new truths about Chase. Truths that make it feel like they are farther apart than ever. Will she be able to come to terms with this new Chase who still seems to care very deeply for her? And even if she does, will outside forces keep them apart forever?
