Tay is left with the family inn after his father dies. He's unsure what to do with it and considers closing the doors forever, until a gorgeous traveler walks through the front door one afternoon. The next thing he knows, the inn is not only open but thriving, with Mykah, the young traveler, at his side helping run things. He's happy for the first time since his father passed away.

Trouble is, Tay knows Mykah has to leave soon for his sister's wedding, and is likely never to return. He lives in the city, several days' ride from Tay's little town, and has his own life already. Is Mykah really even interested in him? Are they stuck just being friends, or at the most, a short fling soon forgotten?
