Fourteen years was long enough to forget a man...And Tricia Parker hadn't expected to see him again. But there he was half-dead and battered. And yet despite his injuries and her professional composure, all the pain of what they once had and what she had lost came back with a vengeance....Jeremy Blackstone returned home to his family's ranch to recover from an undercover mission gone awry, and found himself tenderly nursed by the only woman he'd ever loved. Somehow he had to find a way to heal her heart, and show Tricia that the past was over and the future was theirs for the taking.
