Now she cannot repair even herself. She struggles to find direction, purpose, or identity in the aftermath of trauma. Gene Nelson faces his own crisis of identity. The rancher discovered shocking truths about his father that turned his entire world upside down. Everything he believed about his life proved false. The revelation sent him spiraling into reckless behavior as he abandoned restraint and pursued whatever he craved. When Gene sees Allison, desire strikes him immediately. Their attraction ignites into intense passion, but something deeper emerges beneath the physical connection. Both carry deep emotional wounds that mirror each other. In their shared brokenness, they discover unexpected solace. Allison finds someone who understands loss of identity. Gene meets someone equally adrift and searching.
