After seven years in prison, Duncan Malone returns to Washita, Texas, determined to reclaim the land and the life he'd lost. No one will give him a job, except one woman desperate enough to hire him.

Together, Franki and Duncan are beginning to understand the only home worth keeping demands that they open their hearts to love . . .… (mehr)
I loved this book about an ex con coming home after seven years in prison. I thought the emotions were genuine and the characters full and well rounded. The heroine was struggling to keep her farm afloat while her grandfather was in the hospital. The farm in question was the hero's family farm which had had to be sold after he went to prison and his mother was in a car accident. Now the hero has come back to his small hometown because his mother is in a nursing home here and he eventually wants to get his farm back.
There was POV from both the hero and the heroine. I loved feisty tough talking heroine and the quiet steady hero. Here the hero was not sent away for a crime he didn't commit but for manslaughter after a fight led to someone dying. He suffers a lot of guilt over it and feels unworthy of the heroine.
