I've loved her since we were kids...
Violet Murphy was always meant to be mine. Forever my best friend, my partner, my wife. But nine years ago, in the deepest, darkest trenches of infertility, Violet said I needed to let her go.
We've now been divorced for more years than we were married. I still live in the house we renovated together. I still work the job I had before she left. I'm here in our hometown, still thinking about her every day. How things went wrong. How things could have been different.
She told me she'd never return to Silver Springs. That I needed to move on and build a family with someone else. It was never an option in my mind. It was never going to happen.
Now I'm standing outside her parents' place and she's just... there. Alone. A mirage of flaming red hair and sun-kissed freckles... and a rounded belly carrying a baby we both never thought she'd be able to have. That's not the only bombshell she's brought back to town with her.
Seems the love of my life has a dangerous admirer. It's my job as a Clarence County Sheriff's Deputy to protect and serve my community, but when it comes to Violet, I'd give up anything to keep her-and the baby she's carrying-safe.
Now that Violet's back, I'm determined to show her that the Silver Ridge Ranch is still her home, and my heart will always belong to her.
