When Texas Ranger Ben Calhoun returns undercover to his hometown of Crossroads Creek, the last thing he expects is to lose his heart to Sergeant Mandy Peters, the local officer he's forced to deceive. Despite her dedication to the job, Mandy's faith-filled spirit and tender heart call to the guilt he's carried since his family's tragic death years ago. For Mandy, trusting again seems impossible after her infant daughter's kidnapping destroyed her marriage eight years ago. But the new police captain who stole her promotion challenges her carefully constructed walls, even as his secrets threaten to tear them apart. When an investigation brings shocking truths to light, Mandy must decide if she can forgive the man who brought both healing and heartache into her life. In a small Texas town where faith runs deep and God's timing is perfect, two wounded hearts discover that love might be worth the risk—especially when it comes with the chance to bring a family together.
