A novel by Melody Archer
Scarred and broken, Hunter Callahan returns to his home town after he is discharged from in military service as a Navy SEAL.
After enduring the judgemental stares from folks in his small town, to the rugged scars on his face and arms, he decides to hideaway on his ranch.
He keeps busy raising and training quarter horses on his ranch, spurning all opportunities for love.
That is... until CoraLee Jackson returns home.
CoraLee dated Hunter when she was in high school. He was handsome, older and wiser and she fell in love.
However, Hunter would never tell her he cared for her. He never told her he loved her.
When her brother got in trouble -- with a lot of debt owing -- she knew she needed to help him.
So when a modeling agency offered her a lot of money to be their model in Paris, she took the job.
Her family needed the money.
But she never forgot Hunter Callahan.
He was the man she had secretly loved for years.
Now Hunter had returned to their small town.
Seeing him again in her dad's mechanic shop shook CoraLee to the core.
But even worse, Hunter is still angry at her for taking that modeling job years ago. Since, she never told him the reason that she had taken the job, but he has always believed CoraLee was just greedy for money.
His opinion of her hurts, but she does her best to bear it.
Yet, their paths keep crossing until one day Hunter needs her help. His brother has left for a long vacation, and he needs someone to look after the front desk at his ranch.
Since, Hunter hides his face away from people, he has always had someone else to look after his customers every day.
Hesitantly, CoraLee agrees to his temporary job offer.
However, she can't help but be worried. Would she fall for Hunter a second time? If she did, this time she feared, the heartache would be more than she could bear.
When her brother needs help again, and with CoraLee's life threatened, Hunter uses all his skills to protect her, while still protecting his heart.
