Just when Charity's wild imagination failed her, a flesh-and-blood hero walked into her life.

Best-selling author Charity Anderson returns to her hometown of Kings Meadow to defeat a bad case of writer's block. She imagines she'll spend a lonely summer writing and then return to her home in Boise. She soon finds herself caring for Buck Malone, a wilderness guide—and the object of her unrequited teenage crush. But what else can she do? Her dog Cocoa caused the accident that left Buck with a broken ankle and wrist, taking him off the trail for weeks of prime tourist-season work.

Buck and Charity have gone different ways since high school, and at first it seems they have little in common. Buck loves the simple, low-key life he's made for himself in the mountains of Idaho, and she's a woman accustomed to the faster, bustling pace of the city. But spending so much time together has Buck hoping to change her mind about staying in the small town she thought she'd left behind for good.

It's a summer for discovering that young love is a spark not soon extinguished.

      Starred review from April 1, 2015

      Charity Anderson has been running from Kings Meadow her whole life. A successful and popular author, she does the unthinkable while working on a deadline--she moves back home for the summer while her house is being renovated after a flood. Buck Malone, whom she just happened to have a crush on when she was growing up, lives next door to her parents' house. Circumstances bring them together, but can Charity move beyond her past fears and failures to enter a new life with Buck? VERDICT In Hatcher's second series outing (after Love Without End) the attention to detail brings the Idaho scenery to life and makes the plot believable. Sensitive subject matter (teen pregnancy and stillbirth) is handled delicately, with the protagonist resolving her issues. This fast-paced, adventurous love story will find plenty of admirers in fans of Tracie Peterson and Shelley Shepard Gray.--Shondra Brown, Wakarusa P.L., IN

      Charity Anderson, a best-selling author, returns to her Idaho hometown, Kings Meadow, for the first time since she went off to college. Buck, the next-door neighbor, was a popular athlete when they were in high school and now makes his living as a wilderness guide and outfitter. When he makes a neighborly gesture at the supermarket, Charity's huge dog takes him down, breaking his leg and wrist and leaving him incapable of doing much of anything. When Charity tries to help him by exercising his horses, she rediscovers her love of riding and the beauty of the countryside. But she remains haunted by a past mistake for which she can't forgive herself. Buck has his own regretful reasons for not wanting a wife or family, but he can't help but be very interested in his famous neighbor. Hatcher's latest Christian romance in the Kings Meadow series (Love without End, 2014), with its strong messages of redemption and accepting love, will appeal to readers seeking wholesome stories and those who enjoy beautifully rendered depictions of western landscapes.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
