When Mia reconnects with her old high school sweetheart and heir to a Texas Century Ranch, she realizes she may still have a taste for Texas after all.

For airline pilot Addy Piper, flying is her life, so when an industry-wide furlough sends her job-hunting, she heads to the Texas Hill Country for an interview. She chooses a B&B from an outdated brochure, showing up unannounced. The owner of The Bluebonnet House admits he should have closed it years ago when his wife died, but when he looks at his daughter, he sees her mother and can’t let go of the dream. Lonely and alone, the pilot and the widower are confronted by a future no one, including them, believes can exist.

A few things in Texas remain constant: livestock shows, rodeos, and cowboys, and Chef Mia Ellis rejects them all.

Kelsey-Rose was once half of a fairytale couple in the small town of Topaz. She was the beautiful barrel racer set to inherit a ranch of Texas Longhorns, and he’d been a saddle bronc rider, but when her fiancé dies in an accident she causes, she makes a deathbed promise to never love another.

Instead of ranching, she turns to flowers, buying a floral shop and becoming an integral part of the town in celebrations of everything from love to death. It was her way to find redemption.

Colton Wilde, a wealthy newspaperman from Dallas, has just lost everything in an ethics battle. With his bank account lower than he’s ever seen it, he buys The Blue Topaz Times, but the last thing he expects is to fall in love with the girl next door—a beautiful woman bound to the memory of another man.

In a parallel twist of fate, tragedy befalls both families. Colton goes home while Kelsey-Rose returns to The Forty Flowers Ranch.

Now, everything has changed. Even her unbroken promise.
