Wes Downey has always been on his own, with no family to turn to and nowhere to call home—except for his best friend's place in Broken Wheel, Texas. After a serious injury on the job leaves him wounded and alone, Wes has no choice but to let his best friend, Patrick, take him back to the only place he’s ever felt safe: the Woodward family home.
Poppy Woodward has harbored a secret crush on Wes for as long as she can remember, but the man who arrives at her doorstep is just a shadow of the confident Wes she once knew. His injuries run deeper than the scars on his body, and the accident has left him lost and broken.
Determined to help him heal, Poppy makes it her mission to bring Wes back to life. As she spends more time with him, soon she’s falling for him all over again. But in a small town like Broken Wheel, everyone has an opinion, and gossip spreads faster than wildfire.
As whispers and rumors swirl around them, Wes and Poppy must decide if their growing love is worth facing the judgment of others—or if the risks are too great to take.
