Dove Donoghue can't remember the last time she had spoken with her grandpa. Imagine her surprise when she suddenly inherits his old horse farm. She leaves her busy city life and goes to Heart's Peak, Colorado. She planned to take care of business, not to find the love of her life. Her next door neighbor, Burley Johnson, is tall, broad and every bit of the word sexy. But there's a darkness hiding behind those chocolate brown eyes. He warns her to stay away from him, but when a flame ignites, you need more than a warning to stop it from spreading... Burley Johnson's life changed a year ago. He did something bad. Something unforgivable. Now, he lives with the consequences. When Old Man Bennett's granddaughter shows up on the farm, Burley never expected to find a light in all the darkness. But there's something about that Dove. Her smile is contagious. Her beauty breathtaking. She says she doesn't care about his past... but Burley knows it's only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt him. When you're trapped so far under water, not even a light can save you. Can Dove really overlook Burley's dark past? And what will happen when Dove finds herself with a secret of her own?
