New York Times–Bestselling Author: A sexy hometown hero returns to rescue the one who got away . . .

Ten years ago, bad boy Nick Anderson left home—and a brokenhearted Shelby Stillwater in his wake. Now the retired Navy SEAL has inherited the family ranch in Tennessee that Shelby calls home. Almost in foreclosure, the property is being sabotaged to force a sale . . . and Shelby is in mortal danger.

As Nick and Shelby work together to stop the vandals, old passions and new threats arise. The ranch carries painful memories, and Nick's not sure if he's willing to work to save the land. But as he finds new purpose and a new home, he remains determined to keep Shelby from harm . . . even if it means risking everything he holds dear in the process.
