A history of running...When Rafe Sharpe was eighteen, he put Coyote Ridge, his family, and everyone he knew in his rearview in order to escape his past. When he returned three years ago, everyone thought he'd returned to face the horrors that had shaped his existence. What he didn't tell anyone was that he'd been running then, too.
But settling in didn't mean settling down because that wasn't in the cards for Rafe, even if he was secretly pining for the beautiful, pure-hearted Bailey Weber. Despite being his greatest temptation, Rafe managed to keep Bailey in the friend zone, opting to be her confidante and protector, ensuring she believed her feelings for him weren't reciprocated. After all, Rafe wasn't worthy of anyone's love. Not after what he did.
The past and present collide...It isn't until a handsome man from his past rolls into town that Rafe realizes what he was running from and what he's been resisting would soon come together, becoming a powerful pull on the heartstrings he didn't even know he had.
