Determined to break the final ties to her hometown, Kasey Hunsaker returns to Bozeman to her high school reunion where former sweetheart, sometimes lover and best friend, Daniel Forrestal patiently waits for her return. It had been a bad summer all around. Twenty years ago and pregnant with the child she eventually miscarried, Kasey left Dan to her best girlfriend—the woman who claimed Kasey's interference ruined their own chances at happiness. And Dan? Well, his fledging business would be ruined if he had to support a child at such a young age. Mom also thought it would be a good time to tell her one more secret, one that assured leaving Bozeman was the best thing possible. In spite of the distance, their lives remain connected. Forrestal Fly Fishing is a large client of Kasey's marketing firm. Kasey vows never to hurt Dan again, but she does just that when she tells Dan goodbye for the last time. Dan finds out what commitment is when Kasey is severely injured in an automobile accident as she leaves Bozeman. With Kasey recovering and finally in a corner, Dan learns the secrets, the burdens and the love she has carried and he is determined to get his girl back, once and for all.
