She’s the only person who ever treasured him-and the only one he can’t ever have.

Jude lost everything one springtime day time when he crashed his car into an apple tree privately of the street. A man can be dead, and there is no way he can ever correct that wrong. He’d forever steer clear of Colebury, Vermont, if he could. But an ex-con in recovery for his medication addiction can’t look for a job just anywhere.

Sophie Haines is stunned by his reappearance. After a three-year lack, the person who killed her brother and broke her center is suddenly everywhere she becomes. It’s hard never to stare at just how much he offers changed. The bad boy who used to like her didn’t possess big biceps and sun-kissed hair. And he’d never volunteer in the chapel kitchen.

No one wants to see Sophie and Jude back together, least of all Sophie’s father, the police main. But it’s a little town-and forbidden love is a legislation unto itself.
