A slow burn, enemies to lovers, beautiful telling of coming home and finding forgiveness even after two decades of hurt.
Sophie and Braxton are an unlikely pairing (city girl vs rancher). She’s been dealing with so much hurt and feelings of abandonment by her dad for almost 20 years. Braxton is a rancher whose aunt took him and his sister in as children when they lost their parents. Then, his aunt married Sophie’s father and Braxton grew up in Sophie’s childhood home.
His aunt. Her dad. Their family. Her childhood home. When Braxton and Sophie meet there’s definitely animosity between them.
As the story progresses, it’s apparent that Sophie’s mom has been hiding things from her and lying about past events ever since she spirited Sophie to New York as a child. Now Sophie has gone back to Colorado to attend her grandmother’s funeral and see her dad and family for the first time in 20 years.
It’s a lot. And this is a definite page turner. There’s some painful revelations and it’s all a stunning, emotional, heartfelt story.
