A heartfelt new rural romance about homecoming and forgiveness, from Australian author Mandy Magro.

But there is still the unresolved matter of Sophie - the only woman he's ever truly loved, the same woman who broke his heart and skipped town so long ago.Dylan and Sophie try to keep their distance, but cannot deny the intense chemistry between them, and the undying love for one another that both have buried deep in their hearts. But if Sophie tackles the scariest challenge on her list, will it push Dylan away forever? And will her family ever be the same again?
