Nadya Sarov and her mother left their small town in the dead of night twelve years ago. She’s back in Dale, Georgia to tie up loose ends and isn’t above flaunting her hard-won success in front of the people who looked down on her for years. Running into the preacher’s son who was too honorable to take everything she offered him is a jolt she didn’t expect.

After serving in the military, J.T. McBride came back to Dale to join the small police force. He wasn’t much more than a boy when he missed his first chance with Nadya, and he never expected to see again. He’s determined he’s not going to lose her again. Of course, he has to convince her Dale isn’t as bad as she remembers and make sure someone with an old grudge doesn’t drive her out of town.
