Andrine "Andi" Hawthorne grew up in a small country horse town in Florida, and all she dreamed about was going to college on an academic scholarship to becoming a lawyer. Like any teenager, Andi enjoyed reading, football games, horseback riding, and relaxing in the forest by her favorite stream, just shooting the breeze. As a loner, she didn't have a care in the world until he, the rich kid from the other side of the stream, stepped into her world and turned it upside down.
Tristan Bradford is a third-generation Ocalaian. He was a popular high school kid and captain of the football team. Being the oldest child of a prominent family of the town, he was pushed by his father to be the very best. The day he met her, the girl from across the stream with the white horse, they began a friendship he couldn't explain. He destroyed her heart, and for a lifetime, she became his obsession.
Fourteen years later, Andi is the CEO of Thorne Marketing in New York City. Her heart had become numb and cold, after Tristan broke her heart so long ago. Through the years, Andi's father groomed and taught her to be strong and smart and to stay one step ahead of everyone else in the business and in her personal life. That is exactly what she did to the point of calling off her engagement to an NBA superstar.
Tristan is now a millionaire rancher who runs Bradford Farms alongside his brothers and sister in Ocala, Florida. As a hardworking cowboy and an adrenaline junky, women flock to him like flies for his looks and definitely his money. Yet, none of that mattered because, in his heart, Tristan brings the ranch to what it is today for one purpose only--for her.
Although separated by distance and heartache, Tristan and Andi find their lives turned upside down by family drama, causing them to come together to face the truth of their past. Can they both forget what was? Will they be able to make a future in a town that is not prepared for two different people who have loved each other from afar for fourteen years to start over?
