"Planning to take his orphaned niece back home to Chicago, K-9 police officer Malcom Mitchell encounters an unexpected obstacle - his ex-fiancée, Tenley Jacobs. Six years ago, she jilted him at the altar without explanation. Now the equine therapist has shared guardianship with him. Refusing to give up custody of her late best friend's daughter, Tenley knows she must regain Mac's trust - even if it means revealing the secret that ended their engagement. But as old feelings reignite, will the truth lead to forgiveness... or give Mac a reason to walk away with her heart forever?"--Page 4 of cover.
