Is a second chance worth the risk?




Choosing between the big, lively city and her small hometown of Valley Springs seemed like an easy choice for the ambitious Carol Ann Wyatt at eighteen. With dreams of becoming a dancer, Carol Ann tries her best to put her high school sweetheart's betrayal behind her after she sees him kissing another woman. But New York isn't everything she hoped for and with hardly any money to her name, Carol Ann is losing her way.

Then when a tragedy strikes her family, Carol Ann is forced to return home and face her past.


Ex-boyfriend Mason Young is just as tall and handsome as ever. If anything, time has aged him for the better. Ranch work has tanned his skin and bulked up his muscles making him a real hunk.

Carol Ann finds herself drawn to him once more, but his unfaithfulness still cuts deep, and Carol Ann is afraid of being hurt again. So, when new information comes to light that changes what Carol Ann saw, her whole world is turned upside down.


It's time for Carol Ann to make a choice between her career and her heart.

What should she choose?
