If you're not willing to take a chance, you'll never know what could have been. After losing his wife to a horrific forest fire, Landen Clayborn is looking to start over. So, when the mayor of Daisy Creek offers him the chance to start up a new restaurant in town, Landen is eager to accept. With sorrow behind him and his restaurant beginning to flourish, Landen is moving forward -- and any ideas of love and remarrying are the furthest things from his mind. But then the lovely Clary Rittenhouse blows into his life like a sweet Nebraska breeze, and Landen finds himself drawn to her despite all else. In Clary, Landen sees his chance to love again. But Clary's father is a hard, cruel man, who doesn't approve of Landen, and expects his daughter to marry a man twice her age for financial gain. Living under her father's tyranny, Clary is caught between her deepening feelings for Daisy Creek's new restaurateur, and her sense of duty. Landen is willing to fight for their love, but will Clary find the courage to stand with him? Or is Landen risking it all by taking this second chance on love?
