With a title under his belt, a purse in the bank, and a ring in his pocket, Marshall Dekes returned for the woman he loved...only to find her at the altar saying "I do" to another man. Two years later, he's stunned to find Amy sitting at the bar of the Lonesome Steer Honky Tonk. Anger and resentment still burning, he lets her have it, refusing the forgiveness she seeks. But his world is turned upside down when he hears her cry of distress and finds himself helping with the unexpected birth of her child. What his head can't forgive, his heart can't forget, and Amy staying with her cousin in nearby Redemption is too close for comfort. When events of the past start coming to light, he doesn't know if his heart is strong enough to risk a second chance at the life he'd all but given up on.
