A successful woman returns to the town—and the love—she left behind in this emotional historical romance from a New York Times–bestselling author.
“The premier writer of Americana romance.” —Booklist
Iowa, 1958. Nelda Hanson, a successful young designer in Chicago, has come home to sell the family farm. Here, just eight years ago, she was a pregnant teenage bride, torn from the arms of her new husband minutes after the ceremony. Nelda wouldn’t see him again, not even after she bore his child. Now, suddenly—and dangerously—Luke Hanson is back in her life. The thin, blue-eyed boy with the she smile has become a rugged and handsome, yet distant and angry man. He’s someone who has reason to hate her. But all Nelda can hate is her own weakness in loving him, as if she could have ever stopped, as if all the hurt over so much time could not return to consume them both . . .
