Hunter Cross has no regrets. Having left his football
prospects behind the day he graduated high school, he’s
happy to carry out his legacy on his family’s farm in the
foothills of the Shenandoah. But when a shoulder injury puts
him face-to-face with the high school sweetheart who
abandoned town—and him—twelve years ago, Hunter’s simple
life gets a lot more complicated.
Emerson Montgomery has secrets. Refusing to divulge why she
left her job as a hotshot physical therapist for a pro
football team, she struggles to readjust to life in the
hometown she left behind. The more time she spends with
Hunter, the more Emerson finds herself wanting to trust him
with the diagnosis of MS that has turned her world upside down.
But revealing secrets comes with a price. Can Hunter and
Emerson rekindle their past love? Or will the realities of
the present—and the trust that goes with them—burn that
bridge for good?
