That's the thing about soulmates -- you have to be brave enough to stay with them.

Dee Bullard acted responsibly her whole life. She worked hard, went to college, and became a veterinarian. Now in her late thirties, she's stuck in the one place she always vowed to leave: her childhood home on a farm in Kansas. Then the boy next door breezes back into town, and past heartache catches up with them both.

After years in the Army's special forces, there are some things Ricky Lee never talks about. One of those things is the real reason he hasn't come home in eight years: Dee. She's a troublemaker who's left him bearing the consequences one too many times.

When Ricky's father suddenly dies, he's forced to return to care for his sick mother. Back in Dee's orbit, Ricky can't deny her. But he doesn't think he can survive her either.

With nothing but a low cattle fence and a lifetime of memories standing between them, Ricky and Dee face a reckoning that will either break them forever or unite them for good.
