Ophelia McKenzie left Blossom Ridge and its bitter family feud behind to chase truth and headlines in New York City. But when her father falls ill, the determined reporter returns home, only to find that the past, and one man in particular, still stirs something deep inside her. Can she balance her pursuit of justice with the longing she thought she buried?

Eli Daggatt returned from war a changed man, once a deputy and now a sheriff, raising a child who isn't his by blood... He's built a quiet life for himself and his daughter Daisy, but Ophelia's return threatens to reopen wounds he's long tried to forget. Will the truth she's seeking destroy the only peace he's ever known?

As Ophelia digs into the mystery of Daisy's origins, old secrets begin to surface, and so do long-buried feelings. Torn between duty, desire, and the pain of the past, Eli and Ophelia must decide what matters most: the truth they owe a child, or the love they never dared to claim. Can love survive when trust hangs in the balance?
