From New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes the first book in the Arrowood Brothers series. After returning to his hometown to carry out his deceased father's last wish, Connor reunites with—and saves—the woman he left behind years ago. I swore to leave my hometown forever. I swore I'd never love. Life had other plans. For me. For her. Eight years ago, Connor Arrowood shared one night with a woman who gave him peace. No names, no promises, and in the morning, she was gone and he left for the military. Now, Connor's father is dead, and he must return to that small town in Pennsylvania to settle his father's estate. He wants nothing to do with it. He'd give the farm, land, and house away if it meant he could leave Sugarloaf. Until he sees Ellie. The woman he shared the best night of his life with all those years ago. Ellie has been trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage. She stays with her husband for the sake of her daughter, but she doesn't realize the severity of the situation until Connor rushes back into her life. Connor is everything her husband is not—kind, sweet to her child, and patient. Connor is her safe place as she puts her life back in order after finally leaving to save herself and her daughter. Day by day, their feelings deepen and their connection is undeniable. Little does Connor know that their connection is greater than he could ever imagine.
