Independence, New Mexico, needs a lifeline, and Myka Solis is determined to provide one. She thinks her online craft business can transform the dying town into a vibrant, creative hub. And she knows exactly the person who can help: Joshua Nez, the confident, big-city architect who's back in town to rebuild his own life.

Thanks to Josh's expertise, Myka finds herself leading a revitalization effort that draws in the entire community. But working with Josh has to stay a business-only arrangement.

Josh has dreams, too, and his involve opening an architecture firm far away from Independence.

If only Myka can show him they both have a future in Independence... together.
