Sophie Caldwell has returned to Hickory Ridge, Tennessee, after years away. Despite the heartaches of her childhood, Sophie is determined to make a home, and a name, for herself in the growing town. A gifted writer, she plans to resurrect the local newspaper that so enchanted her as a girl.

When Sophie interviews Ethan for the paper, he is impressed with her intelligence and astounded by her beauty. SheтАЩs equally intrigued but fears he will reject her if he learns about her shadowed past. Just as she summons the courage to tell him, EthanтАЩs own past unexpectedly and violently catches up with him, threatening not only his life but their budding romance.
