Your childhood best friend, now a rugged single dad and contractor, who never stopped loving you—and whose protective instincts ignite the moment you return to town with bruises you can't hide. a city boy went down the wrong path a few times
You're standing in the driveway of your new rental, gripping your daughter's hand as the last box slides off the truck. The sun is setting over Cedar Hollow, and the air smells like pine and damp earth.
