Ruby Knight is a beautiful, award-winning, country music star with the voice of an angel. Disillusioned with the flashy glitz and glam of star life, she makes the decision to bow out of her career and return to her hometown of Friendship, Maine. Life is good, quiet and full of freedom, until the day a tall, dark-haired stranger walks into the diner. Dalton Knight has returned home to U.S. soil after spending his military career abroad. He wanted to come home to a quiet, boring life. But when he’s hired to collect Ruby Graham and bring her back to California, everything changes. Instead of dragging her against her will, he vows to protect her. He’ll return her to her life when the threat is neutralized, and he’ll return to his. But will he? Or perhaps the question is, can he?
