Carrie Benson is determined to make Cedar Falls’ Spring Festival a success, and hosting it at Sugar Creek Ranch is key. Dalton Sterling, steady and reliable, agrees—mostly because he’s known Carrie forever. But as her big ideas clash with his structured world, sparks fly. When an unexpected accident puts everything on the line, they’re forced to decide—will they risk their friendship for something more? |
