Mitchell Tucker has come back to the small Texas town of Gila Rock looking for something Julianne Boyce has no intention of giving him: forgiveness. Itβs been eight years since Mitch went to jail for starting a fire that claimed her husbandβs lifeβ¦and longer still since Juli and Mitch fell into a forbidden first love that their feuding families brought to an end. Sheβs lost too much because of his thoughtlessness to let herself fall under that familiar spell again.
But no matter how much she ignores him, Mitch isnβt leaving. Soon heβs helping out at her farm and her new store, trying to make amends, melting the cold shell Juliβs built around her heart. Thereβs a world of hurt and mistrust between themβbut thereβs also one last chance to uncover the truths that might bring them back together once moreβ¦
