Cassie Edwards fled her family's small horse farm when the man she loved married another woman. But now her ailing grandfather needs her help and she's not going to stay away another minute. It doesn't matter that the all-powerful Sutherland family controls the local polo industry where she once worked, or that they can make life very difficult for an old girlfriend. Besides, after all this time, Alex Sutherland is just a friend. Maybe. Wealthy Alex Sutherland has given up all his passions. Except for his daughter. And if sacrificing everything that ever made him happy will keep her safe, it's a price he's always been willing to pay. But Cassie still holds his heart, and when her return sparks a vengeful ex-wife's wrath, will their second chance at love turn lethal?
