Can two hearts heal enough for a second chance at love?

Angela Mason married her high school sweetheart, and together they enjoyed a modest version of the American dream. But when Trevor dies unexpectedly, Angela loses her soul mate. She struggles with grief and with moving on, until finally her daughters conspire to send her on her first vacation alone, to the Lone Steer ranch. There she meets Michael, who divorced his wife to escape the mental anguish and emotional abuse he suffered at her hands. Different circumstances surround their losses, but the result is the same: a very real fear of risking their hearts and lives with another person. Can Michael and Angela embrace a future together? It doesn’t look promising unless they can deal with their past losses, mend broken promises, and let the healing process begin.
