Mallory Nichols built her life from the wreckage of a marriage that nearly broke her. Her Christmas shop on Main Street, her three-year-old son T.J., and the family who held her together are everything she needs. She isn't looking for anything else. She especially isn't looking for a tall, gray-eyed deputy who walks into Dewey's Bar one Friday night and doesn't look away.
Mack Reinhardt came to Clifton, Montana as a favor to an old friend, with no intention of staying. Twenty-two years as a US Marshal, a career he walked away from for a woman who left him anyway, and a ranch he grew up on that's been waiting for him to come home. He wasn't planning on Mallory. He wasn't planning on a three-year-old who shakes hands for stuffed dinosaurs and builds snowmen like its serious business.
But some things don't ask permission.
As Mallory slowly learns to trust again and Mack finds reasons to stay he never expected, the life she fought so hard to protect is about to be threatened by the one person she hoped she'd never see again.
Her past wasn't finished with her yet.
And this time, she won't be facing it alone.
