When he sees her at her great-uncle's funeral, Cody is determined to show her he's no longer that same angry man.

But when Abby inherits the property adjoining Cody's, she can't help but face the sheriff who still lingers in her memory. Circumstances keep pulling them together, but has time healed their wounds and given them a chance at a happily-ever-after?"-- Back cover.
