After nearly twenty years, her career in possible ruins, homicide detective Madeline Holton returns to her hometown for a temporary stint working with the local sheriff-s department. The demons of her teen years lie in wait, rising once more in the form of a cold case she must solve. And when it comes to a handsome farmer who-s making good on her family-s former land, she can-t seem to keep her foot out of her mouth-or her hands off him. Agricultural businessman Ash Hardison won-t lie to himself-despite Madeline-s obvious issues, he-s more drawn to her than any woman he-s ever known. He-s already laid the ghosts of his past to rest, and he-s determined to help Madeline purge hers. Whether she likes it or not. Because he knows it-s the only way they have a chance to forge a future together. Warning: Contains deadly secrets, a prickly heroine and a determined man who knows what he wants.
