Landry Mitchell is convinced he made a mistake coming home when he was released from prison. The residents of Rocky Ridge, Colorado aren't the forgive-and-forget type. Now, all he wants is to be left alone.
As a little girl, Olivia Harding learned the hard way that her worth was measured only by what she could do for others. Now, since she has no family of her own to love and care for, she spends her days looking after the children at the town orphanage.
When Landry rescues Olivia from an attacker, she meets a man who is lonely, a man who is hurt, a man who needs her whether he realizes it or not. And Olivia could never resist a person in need.
Although Landry no longer expects acceptance and forgiveness, Olivia is determined to help him rebuild his life. Landry is resistant at first, but in time, he begins to resurrect old relationships and friendships.
Olivia and Landry find their feelings for each other growing, and Landry starts to believe they might have a future together.
Until trouble comes back to town ...
