But when his brother Jimmy dies, leaving unresolved tension hanging between them, he turns all his hatred and blame onto Ava Rainer- the woman he holds responsible for Jimmy's death. He doesn't want anything to do with her, but when she unexpectedly shows up on his farm, needing his help, Zane finds himself drawn to her, despite every effort to push her away. Ava can't escape the guilt weighing heavy on her shoulders, and she's desperate to make amends. Working together gives her the perfect opportunity to break down the walls he's built around his heart and set them both on a journey of forgiveness, healing, and unexpected love.
