Wyatt Stone is looking forward to a romantic weekend with his beautiful partner, Harley Harper, at his lakeside lodge. He plans to surprise her with a trail ride on Mt. Pitt to see the fabulous colors of the fall leaves. But it's Wyatt who is in for a surprise when his day ride to check a potential view takes an unexpected turn. Butterflies of anticipation flutter in Harley's stomach as she drives to Wyatt's lodge at Willow Lake. It's not their first getaway, but she knows to savor their alone time together. Harley's anticipation quickly morphs into panic when she arrives at the lodge to find Wyatt's horse saddled and ready for a ride ... but without a rider.
