Damien Colton was in prison for a crime he didn't commit. He'd lost his freedom, his good name. Now he wants it back, starting with the inheritance waiting for him in his hometown. But if there's one thing to distract a man from his plans, it's a sexy woman desperate for help-with her own little secret to hide.
Just the sight of a Colton and a Kelley together can start a firestorm of gossip. Soon-to-be single mom Eve Kelley doesn't want the attention. Nevertheless, Damien needs her by his side to finally get the justice he deserves. As these unlikely allies turn to passionate lovers, will the town pariah find the family he'd never dared to wish for?
