Mick Breeden is a lost soul. Serving in the army has always been the place he’s called home, but after sustaining an injury that he can’t quite move past, he’s heading back to his Texas hometown, wounded and battered. And fairly certain there is no way on God’s green earth he can ever be redeemed for what he did. Hayely Samms has never left the Texas small town she grew up in. Even though she looks sweet and kind, deep down, she’s driven to succeed and ready to make a name for herself by running the diner her beloved aunt left her with all the focus she can muster. She has no time for anything else. Until Mick Breedan comes walking back into her life. He’s just as broken and dangerous as he was back in high school. Except this time, there’s a storm in his eyes that draws her in and makes her wonder what’s happening under the surface. If only he’d let her in. Everything's bigger in Texas. Even redemption.
