Summary

"I'd change it all if I could, every single thing about that godforsaken day. I would make sure you never even saw me. Maybe then you wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't have to do this to us." There was very little to see in Fortine, Montana, but when 19-year-old Lillia Sutter inherits her late grandmother's estate, she finds that there is much more to her old hometown than meets the eye, not the least of which is the man she met fleetingly during a tragic accident years before. For Lillia, the possibility of love feels impossibly terrifying; she'd lived most of her life without it and the little she had was slowly and painfully stripped away from her. However, she would soon find that a man like Murdoch Blaer would work to tear down her walls with as much fervor as he maintained his own.
