David McKay had put Broken Yoke behind him ten years ago when he'd left to pursue his career but that changed when he promised to help his frail grandmother fulfill her husband's wish to have his ashes scattered over a mountaintop.

Of course, neither he nor Addy ever dreamed that two people who were no longer in love would enjoy the strange twist of fate that brought them together again...
