Family Ties

Everyone in Lake Breland's large family has a significant other - everyone, that is, except Luke. He hasn't been able to find anyone in the small town of Sweet Springs, New Mexico. Months after losing her fiance to her best friend, Rae Wellington travels to Sweet Springs, seeking solace from her father - and with hopes of convincing him to move back with her to the city. Rae is welcomed with open arms by her father - and by Luke Breland. Her resolve to return to the city begins to weaken while her love for Luke begins to grow. Can Luke convince Rae the city can wait?
