Child-prodigy pianist, star scholar-athlete, homecoming queen, class valedictorian, renowned architect, adored by her successful attorney beau, Nicole had it all! Until one night a crack appeared in her perfectly veneered executive façade and her inner world began to crumble. Perhaps her golden life wasn't so golden after all.
Nicole Hart is a young and highly successful architect who, while thriving in her profession, is deeply unhappy with other aspects of her life, particularly her relationship with Chandler Whittingham, a successful lawyer she's been dating for over five years, as well as a long term strained relationship with her father. After an all-too-brief vacation at the beach, Nicole realizes she needs to make some serious decisions about her future, including what to do about Chandler, who has just recently been pressing to get married.
During her few days away at the beach she meets Carli, a widow whose paintings of beaches and deserts are strikingly beautiful, but it's her painting of a southwestern guest ranch in Angel Fire, New Mexico that really catches Nicole's eye! Something she can't explain is pulling her to find out more, so she makes plans for a longer vacation at Hidden Glory Guest Ranch to find out firsthand what that mystery might be.
What she doesn't realize is that her life as she knows it is about to change in a way she never imagined in her wildest dreams! Nor did she ever expect to meet a man quite like Liam Prescott!
