Her past. His secrets. They have more in common than she thinks. Maisie is happy and content with the life she has built for herself and her young son in the small town of Prescott, Montana. Her child is growing, her business is thriving, and her family is tighter than ever. But when a handsome stranger enters the motel lobby, her simple life is overwhelmed by a wave of affection for his tender heart. However, none of these feelings can be trusted. She had already made this mistake with another man. The man she killed. Hunter was a different person when he first saw Maisie Holt from afar. He took one look at her and ran in the opposite direction. But years later, he returned to Montana and couldn't keep his distance. He shouldn't have tried to find her, but he had never been able to resist temptation. The promise of good she could bring into his life was too hard to resist. Perhaps if he could disguise the lie, he could protect her from the truth. Because his only chance for a future with Maisie is to bury his past.
