She can’t lose him again…

One look at his warm brown eyes and Kate Jackson knows she’s found her husband. It’s been twenty years since Daniel went missing in a refinery explosion and was finally declared dead, but Kate never gave up hope, convinced he was somewhere out there, suffering from amnesia. Then, on a trip to Buckhorn, Montana, she sees him—working as a carpenter, scarred, but still her Danny. Yet Jon Harper, as he calls himself, insists he’s a stranger.

Jon is certain he’s not the man Kate’s looking for. Though some of his memories are lost in shadow, how could he ever forget a woman like that? One thing Jon’s instinct does tell him is that she’s in danger from the very person she should trust most. Helping loyal, lovely Kate will mean exposing his own perilous past…but it’s the only way to protect her and this new chance at forever.

Ratings and reviews

Thrilling suspense rocks this soulmates love story! Kate allows herself to be swept along by her attentive new fiancé as he takes her on an ill-fated road trip through Montana in winter. A random stop waylays their plans when she happens upon a man who is a dead ringer for her late husband. Thus starts a chain of events that quickly spirals out of control, unearthing secrets galore and culminating in an explosive fight to survive. Every page of this book kept me hanging on the edge of my seat. So many twists and turns, so many surprises! The bad guy is about as evil as they come when judging by his actions, yet the author manages to imbue him with a surprising amount of sympathy and compassion. Justice is served in the end, yet one still can't help feeling sad that it had to work out that way. Kate does find the love story she's been longing for, and rest assured that all the loose ends and nagging questions are wrapped up nicely. The writing is deeply moving, insightful, and gripping throughout the story. The romance builds gradually but the strength of their hearts is evident from the start in both the main characters. The HEA is well worth the wait. The author clearly intends to visit this Buckhorn community again as we're introduced to a wide variety of locals whose intertwined lives leave us with plenty of questions for future books. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This book was quite honestly everything I expected and more. I felt that the author did an incredible job of crafting a storyline that kept you eagerly turning pages and feeling completely emotionally invested in the outcome of it all. My heart received quite the workout as this angsty, suspenseful, emotional and dramatic read pummeled it with waves of loss, hope, twists, action and danger. If you enjoy a meatier book that also provides a richness of feels you're going to want to settle in and sink your teeth into this one for sure. I loved it and can't wait to head back to Buckhorn ASAP for book two. I'm electing to post a candid review.

Kate a widow of twenty years always believed her husband was still alive but knew she needed to move on. She is on a road trip to Canada with her fiance, when a snow storm strands them in Buckhorn Montana. While there she meets, Jon Harper a a carpenter. She swears this is her beloved husband, Danny. Jon denies this but feels some sort of connection to Kate, he fears for her life. As he is protecting Kate's life, his past will also come out. Loved this story of second chance romance. The suspense and intrigue kept me turning the pages late into the night. This is my first B.J. Daniels book and now I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
