On Bridle Day, one horse choice seals a woman’s future—and Willa’s turns into humiliation when Colt, the boy she once loved, treats her engagement like a game. Cornered by the crowd, she picks a scrawny colt and is unexpectedly matched with Ellis, the overlooked man who has loved her in silence for years. Given a second life, Willa makes a different choice: she turns away from Colt’s test and selects Ellis again. As Colt realizes he has lost her, he rushes to undo the damage. Can his sweet talk sway her, or will Willa stay with the one man who never stopped choosing her?
