Meredith Hayes returns to the Archer's farm to warn them of a potentially deadly attack against Travis and his recluse brothers. It's been many years since she set foot on the protected land. The Archers swore many years prior not to allow anyone on their land, for fear they would be split up after their father died. Because of this, Meredith is not warmly welcomed. When trying to help the Archer's protect their land leaves her wounded and her reputation tainted, Travis attempts to rescue her like he did many years ago when she was first injured on their land as a child. But now the brothers and Meredith must work through the decisions they've made. They also must figure out what this new chapter of life is going to look like.
This book was a pleasant read. The characters were enjoyable to get to know, and they all had their little quirks, showing the differences in how people handle situations that come their way. There are a variety of tense moments within the chapters, which kept me on my feet. The dynamic between Travis and Meredith was enjoyable to watch develop. Karen Witemeyer gives you a chance to know both their thoughts, so it's easy to see they want the same thing but are fearful to make it happen.
