Synopsis
Rowan Barnes was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. When her dream job as a grill chef at an up-and-coming restaurant lands her in the heart of the lone star state, Rowan finds herself out of her comfort zone. While purchasing beef from a local cattle ranch, she meets Kate Landreth, a stunning rancher whose heart is as big as the state she loves. As the two women become closer, Rowan reluctantly begins to see Texas and her people through Kate's eyes, but Kate is hesitant to fall too deeply for a woman who makes it absolutely clear that Texas will never be her home.
Much to her surprise, Rowan finds herself falling for more than just the beautiful rancher. She begins to believe there might be a future for her in Texas after all, and Kate finally begins to trust that Rowan is not planning on breaking her heart. That is until Rowan is fired. Left with a shattered ego and an uncertain future, Rowan returns to the places and things that have always given her comfort.
Rowan wants to move on, needs to put Texas in the past and focus on what comes next. But that's easier said than done, especially when home is where the heart is.
Synopsis
Rowan Barnes never planned on living in Texas, and she's not sure she likes it. She tells herself that her dream job as grill chef at a new up-and-coming restaurant was worth the relocation from her Portland home, but she feels out of place and alone in the lone star state.
Kate Landreth, on the other hand, is Texas through-and-through. Rowan meets Kate while picking up beef from a local cattle ranch, and is immediately drawn to the woman whose heart is as big as the state she loves. As the two women become closer, Rowan begins to see Texas through Kate's eyes, but Kate is hesitant to fall too deeply for a woman who makes it clear that Texas will never be her home.
When Rowan finds herself at a crossroads, she must decide if she wants to stay in Texas, or if she wants to return to Portland--to the family and friends and familiar places that she has so desperately missed. The question Rowan has to ask herself is whether or not home is where she grew up, or whether home really is where the heart is.
