"When journalist Jonathan Byers leaves L.A. with his career in tatters, he heads to Sanctuary Ranch, determined to settle some of his personal affairs by putting his aging father in a seniors' home. But his father stubbornly refuses to leave his secluded retreat--and has even rallied Sanctuary Ranch's beautiful gardener to his cause. Something about sexy, mysterious Abby Warren piques the rugged reporter's investigative instincts--and his interest--luring Jonathan to stay a little longer . . . Having found her own healing at Sanctuary Ranch, Abby knows Jonathan's hard-headedness hides a wound that needs mending. Believing a time-out in nature will help father and son see eye-to-eye, she welcomes Jonathan into the only haven she has ever known. But Abby never expects to find herself so drawn to him--or that he will uncover devastating secrets she'd hoped to keep long buried. Will their deepening connection be enough to steer them through the darkness ahead, and toward a bright future for everyone?"--Publisher's description.
