Reunited by their teenage son's possible involvement in a murder...old passions and new needs are destined to explode.

Book Two of the Hearts of the South series.

Del Calvert has spent his life in quiet desperation, trying to meet everyone's expectations and feeling like he never quite measured up. From his teens, Barb was everything he wanted and needed, but knowing he wasn't enough for her drove him out of the marriage.

Barbara Calvert is afraid to need anyone—especially the soon-to-be ex-husband she still loves. She's reluctant to fall under his seductive spell of love and security once more.

But when their son's secrets threaten his life, everything changes. Del must help his son as unseen and threatening forces move ever closer, putting the entire family at risk. And along the way, he hopes to convince Barbara to give him one more chance to win back the wonderful, ordinary life he didn't appreciate until it was gone.
