Her brother's accident forces the Coldwell family to hire a hand on their horse farm, and Penny finds herself in daily contact with the insolent man.

In town, Penny witnesses a heist gone wrong. She wakes from a faint to find herself in Logan's arms. Haunted by memories of the attacker, Penny believes she has seen the man before but can't quite place him. At the crux of Harley Crawford's return to Briar Hollow is his plan to abduct the blue-eyed beauty who captured his imagination at last year's fair and secret her away to another state. Will Logan's newfound faith be enough to help him protect Penny from Harley's scheme?

Tender and humorous, the book's inimitable characters will take on lives of their own when you join them in Briar Hollow.
