She fled her past. Now it's come back to claim her.
Ten years ago, Liza ran from Juniper Hollow, Montana, leaving behind a scandalous secret and the man who shattered her heart. Now, a will has summoned her back to the sprawling ranch she once called home. The land is in her blood, but it comes with a price: she must share her inheritance with Wade Tillman, the arrogant cowboy who stood by in silence as the town turned against her.
Wade is no longer the boy she knew. He's a man forged by the unforgiving Montana landscape, a man with a jaw-dropping presence and a relentless gaze that promises both pleasure and pain. He's determined to earn back her trust, to prove he's changed. But Liza knows that trusting Wade is a risky game, one that could leave her more vulnerable than ever.
Forced to work together to save the ranch, the old flames of their passionate, forbidden love reignite, more hypnotic and dangerous than ever. Can Liza resist the tantalizing pull of a man who represents both her deepest desire and her greatest mistake? Or will she surrender to the wild, uncensored connection that threatens to consume them both? In a town where the past never dies, some secrets are better left buried, and some fires, once lit, are impossible to extinguish.
This is a story of second chances, of redemption, and of a love so epic it defies all odds. It's a journey into the heart of a woman who must choose between the safety of her new life and the man who could be her ultimate triumph or her final downfall.
