Publisher's Summary

How do you define yourself when others have already decided who you are?

Six years ago, when Camden Daniels came back from war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him - especially his father. He left, swearing never to return.

But a desperate message from his father brings it all back. The betrayal. The pain. And the need to go home again.

But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting. Willow. The one woman he can never have. Because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the dark.

If only he could tell his heart to stay locked away when she whispers she's always loved him, and always will...

Contains mature themes.

Such a beautiful story

Did this book have me in tears by the halfway mark! Yep! Sure did! And I felt like there was going to be a lot more coming but only a few extra tears slipped out for the rest of the book!
The spice was quite slow but that being said- this book didn’t NEED the spice. It was emotionally charged and captivating almost instantly.
There was several twists and turns I legit didn’t see coming but made it so worth it!!
Definitely a good read!

Didn't disappoint

Don't know why, but thought a standalone would be boring ... this certainly wasn't that! Narrators did a great job. A twist here and there made it enjoyable.
