Redemption is within her grasp, but the cost might be too high to pay. Dr.

Audrey Hudson has spent the last thirteen years building a life that she can be proud of. As a clinical psychologist specializing in officer wellness, she dreams of opening a first responder retreat center in the beautiful Black Hills.

The day she decides to begin her search for the perfect land she learns that her father is dying of cancer. With the hope of reconciliation, she rushes to his side, only to find a broken man unwilling to offer the words of fatherly love she craves.

Then, among the remnants of her father's glory days, Audrey finds evidence of corrupt deals while shady strangers show up desperate to see her dad before he dies. The last person Cole Wilkins expects to see broken down on the side of the road is the woman who crushed his heart thirteen years ago.

When he offered to help his neighbor in his final days, he thought Audrey was staying miles away. Once he learns the real reason she lied about being with his brother and fleeing in the middle of the night, Cole can’t help but forgive her.

But forgiveness doesn’t mean he’s ready to trust her again. As they work to uncover her father’s secret world, their old attraction is rekindled, and they can only hope what they find doesn’t cost their lives or tear them apart once again.
