In her small Montana hometown, Lauren Parker has assumed a few different roles: teenage hellraiser; sister of superstar Gabe Parker; and most recently, tragically widowed single mother. She’s never cared much about labels or what people thought about her, but dealing with her grief has slowly revealed that she’s become adrift in her own life. Then she meets the devilishly handsome actor Ben Walsh on the set of her brother’s new movie. They have instant chemistry, and Lauren realizes that it has been far too long since someone has really and truly seen her. Her rebellious spirit spurs her to dive headfirst into her desire, but when a sexy encounter becomes something more, Lauren finds herself balancing old roles and new possibilities. There’s still plenty to contend with: her disapproving mother-in-law, the complications of Ben’s fame, and her daughter’s unpredictable moods. An unexpected fling seemed simple at the time – so when did everything with Ben get so complicated? And is there enough room in her life for the woman Lauren wants to be?
