Heartland — Julie Cannon

When two women collide on an empty country road, neither woman expects to see the other ever again, but fate intervenes less than twenty-four hours later.

Political strategist Danielle Brookline is jaded and disillusioned by the scratching, clawing, and mudslinging of the campaign trail and books a week at the SpringDale for a much-needed vacation. SpringDale sounds like just the place to exorcize unhappy childhood memories and clear her head before embarking on the job of a lifetime--the election of her candidate to the Presidency.

Riley Dillon has spent the last four years casting out her own painful past, working and sweating to make her ranch a successful business venture.

Sparks fly when Riley comes face to face with Danielle among her group of new arrivals.
