He left without saying goodbye. Now he’s back—injured, weary, and in her care.

As her uncle’s medical assistant, she’s found her calling—and is slowly earning a place in a community that doesn’t easily forget. But when Luke Dawson—the boy who once rode away without a word—returns after a near-fatal accident, Hattie’s hard-won peace is put to the test. Luke never planned to return to Tucker's Gap.
