Aly Kingston thought she had buried her feelings for Marshall Wayne years ago. The day his family lost their farm to her father's foreclosure, she saw the betrayal in Marshall's eyes and knew their childhood bond was broken forever. Now Marshall has returned to Claiborne, and Aly discovers how much has shifted in his absence. Marshall finds himself caught off guard by the woman Aly has become. The awkward girl who once trailed after him has grown into someone beautiful and compassionate, someone who stirs feelings he thought were dead. But Marshall came back with a single purpose: to destroy the man who ruined his family and reclaim what was stolen from him. As old wounds reopen and new desires surface, Aly must choose between protecting her family and following her heart. Marshall must decide whether his thirst for revenge matters more than the love that could heal them both.
