Book Description

He left to pursue his dreams. She learned how to live without him. Can they rekindle the love they lost or will her secret break them apart once again?

Brandi
Trapper Barnes and I once shared a love as big as the Colorado sky. But at eighteen I had to make the gut-wrenching decision to let him go, guarding an agonizing secret: our unborn child. If he’d known I was pregnant, he would have stayed, ruining his dreams of playing professional hockey. Tragically, I lost the baby. Grieving and broken, I poured sorrow and hope into my bakery until it became a cornerstone in our tight-knit community.

Trapper
A career-ending injury drew me back to the quaint streets of Emerson Pass and the family and friends I left behind. I dreaded seeing Brandi but in a town this size, it was inevitable. What came as a surprise? Falling right back into love with her. My gut tells me she’s hiding something and I’m not going to give up until she tells me what it is.

As we grapple with the pain of what might have been, a looming forest fire threatens our town. Can a shared tragedy help us find our way back to each other, or will the weight of a secret keep them apart forever?
