In a desperate plan to secure his wife’s future beyond his lifetime, Nicholas Copperude turns to online dating and secret auditions to find the perfect man to take his place. But his bold choices set off a cascade of consequences he never imagined, forever altering the lives of those he loves most.

As the fallout from Nick’s ill-conceived plan unfolds, Vivian Copperude, a fiercely independent heroine, is left grappling with grief, betrayal, and the unexpected arrival of a brooding cowboy now living above her barn. Torn between the weight of her past and the undeniable chemistry that neither can resist nor deny, she must decide whether she’s ready to let love back into her life.
