Clint McBride has been running from his past for seven years, bearing the guilt of being responsible for his best friend, Bucky’s, death.
When Clint returns to Prescott, Arizona, he has no intention of staying. Once he takes care of unfinished business he intends to leave the state—for good.
Ella Fisher can’t believe Clint is back. As a matter-of-fact, she’s furious with him for leaving without a word and for not letting anyone know he was even alive. Clint had been her big brother’s best friend, and her teenage crush. She’d been devastated by not only Bucky’s death but by Clint’s departure.
When Clint and Ella meet for the first time since his return, the exchange is a fiery one, and Ella lets Clint know in no uncertain terms how furious she is. Clint can’t believe how his friend’s sister is all grown up, no longer the kid that used to tag along with him and Bucky. Ella is all woman…and he’s afraid he won’t be able to keep his hands off her.
Clint must make some hard choices while Ella fears her heart is about to be ripped apart again.
