Publisher's Summary

How do you define yourself when others have already decided who you are?

Six years ago, when Camden Daniels came back from war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him - especially his father. He left, swearing never to return.

But a desperate message from his father brings it all back. The betrayal. The pain. And the need to go home again.

But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting. Willow. The one woman he can never have. Because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the dark.

If only he could tell his heart to stay locked away when she whispers she's always loved him, and always will...

Contains mature themes.

Interesting and realistic story of a family and small community

I really enjoyed both the story and the narration. The characters were real and, although I don't usually read romances, both the story and the romance were realistic and interesting enough to keep me interested all the way through. I'm pleased to discover this author and will look for more of her books

Before there was dragons, there was men in uniforms.

And boy oh boy can Yarros do a good man, and that uniform 🤌
okay, so not much uniform in this one, but it got my heart rate up a few times. The climax to the slow burn had me fanning my face and giggling🥵. The love I have for this town, I could have listened to it forever, I will be buying a paper trophie of this book for my shelf.
The plot twist at the end had me out of my seat cheering for the good guys. The family drama had my sobbing 😭, you always need a box of extra soft tissues when listening to one of Yarros romance books, I'm on a mission to listen to them all. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
