A Matter of Chance

Sunny Brafford swore off men fourteen years ago when she kicked her lying, cheating husband out of her bed and out of her business, and Brafford Inn went on to be one of the most sought-after B&B locations in northern Wisconsin. Now, entering the new year, Sunny's at a place in her life where everything is good and there's not a thing she would change. But change is coming in as swiftly as the previous night's snowfall. This New Year's Day marks the start of many surprises for the town of Riley's favorite innkeeper when she hears her name announced over the radio as the winner of a contest she never entered, for a vacation for two at one of the largest ranches in Arizona. To most people, this news would be cause for rejoicing, but Sunny isn't like most people. She never enters vacation contests because she thinks vacations are a waste of time when you already enjoy what you're doing with your life. She finds it unsettling that she would win a contest she never entered and is determined to find the culprit who set this in motion. Armed with her best friend and quirky stage performer at her side, Sunny ventures out of her comfort zone to take the first vacation of her life and finds herself dropped off in the heart of cowboy country on a ranch owned by Elrod Huntington Hawk, a big man with an even bigger presence, as far-reaching as northern Wisconsin where his sketched portrait has been secretly adorning Sunny's bedroom wall.
