Ronnie Chandler's past—especially the identity of her ex-husband—is a secret, held close and shared with only a trusted few. Planning never to see him again, she’d moved halfway across the country and found a job in a profession where he'd never in a million years look for her.
Ready for a bigger challenge than selling small cabins, Ronnie and her colleagues at Horse Country Real Estate attract The Westlake Group, venture capitalists from Virginia, to underwrite the creation of Riverwood, a planned equestrian community.
Senator Evan Parker is in Tennessee on a fact-finding trip. When his path unexpectedly crosses Ronnie's, he demands a second chance, but Ronnie is fast falling in love with Luc Deschaines, one of her new investment partners.
Evan has Ronnie and all of the realtors, over a proverbial barrel.  Infuriated at the stance forced on her, will Ronnie capitulate to Evan’s demands?
