On the anniversary of her sister's murder, Calista Hartman returns to Backwater, MT. She'd rather be anywhere else. She left the town, its memories, and the only man she'd ever loved behind years ago. Sheriff Gage Ryker believes official procedures and rules are the only way to keep his town, his family, and his heart safe. But now Calista has come home, and the rules have changed. Calista and Gage will have to work together to solve a string of robberies. But gunfire shattered trust long ago, and more lives will suffer if they don't move forward and leave the past behind.
