Six years ago, Ria Channing ran away after committing the one unpardonable sin her loving family could not surmount. To save her child's life, she has returned, but the home she remembers no longer exists--and she knows that the blame for its destruction lies squarely on her shoulders. Sandor Wolfe owes everything to Ria's mother, who took in a down-on-his-luck stranger and gave him a new start, but Ria is more vulnerable and less the hellion than he expected. His loyalties are tested as he tries to help Ria find not only her parents' forgiveness...but also the path to forgiving herself.
