She'd fall hard and fast for him if she'd let it. But the pain of her mom's betrayal and what still lay unsaid with her dad stopped her, and instead, she teetered on the edge, her mind warring with the daydream he'd spun around her.

Hannah Giselle hopes two weeks with her dad in the northern California mountains will help heal some of the friction of her parents' divorce. Though it was years ago, she struggles with the tension between them every day and has missed spending time with him.

Her mom's resentment follows her there, though, taking a firm grip in the secrets which come to light. Her dad had a fiancée she knew nothing about, a lovely woman whose unresolved disappearance quickly turns her already troubled world upside down.

She finds comfort in the arms of handsome local, Troy Lansing. He's stronger than he knows and, despite his personal doubts, the steady hand she needs. Especially when yet one more revelation tears her life apart.
