When your first two loves are books and ice cream (not necessarily in that order!) who has time to fall for something else? Sadie Mayfield has gotten really good at admiring handsome men from afar... After all, it's not like they'd be interested in her, would they? But when Shawn starts frequenting her ice cream and soda shop at River's End Ranch, she sets out to become his friend. Shawn McAllister - father, war vet, piano teacher - could use a friend. For years he's shuffled his daughter Violet from place to place, trying to make ends meet, and hasn't managed to maintain any sort of relationships. Here at River's End Ranch he has a chance to settle down, but only if he can win the annual Chamber of Commerce contest on behalf of his new job. But when he finds out that his new best friend has entered her shop in the same contest, he knows that he has a problem. And the even bigger problem is that he's beginning to suspect being "just friends" with someone as special as Sadie isn't going to work, either. ******************************* Discover River's End Ranch, a gorgeous and "destination and " ranch and resort in Riston, Idaho, that is run by the six Weston siblings and their well-meaning, semi-retired parents.
