Vanessa Welling never planned to leave home...until her family fled in shame in the wake of the financial catastrophe that shattered their town—and her father's will to live. If it weren't for the wreck of a house she just inherited, Vanessa wouldn't have come back, either. And attractive contractor Tim Dawson and his young son are making it even harder to put the Wyoming town behind her once and for all.
Tim has heard the stories. But Vanessa did nothing wrong and shouldn't spend the rest of her life paying the price. Can't she see the positive effect she's having on the single father and his son? That they have the right stuff to build a future? And Conard County is the perfect place to start over!
