After seven years in prison, Duncan Malone returns to Washita, Texas, determined to reclaim the land and the life he'd lost. No one will give him a job, except one woman desperate enough to hire him. Even in the only place where she's found acceptance, Franki Taylor is willing to risk loneliness and the community's resentment to save the home she's always wanted.Yet that home is the farm where Duncan grew up - the place he'd counted on as sanctuary when everything else was gone. Convincing Franki to give it up is a lost cause - and convincing himself that stubborn, sexy Franki might see the man he wants to be is impossible. But independent Franki is learning that the gentle, soft-spoken man working her farm doesn't deserve Washita's suspicion and dislike. And suddenly, she's hoping for what she thought she'd never have. Together, Franki and Duncan are beginning to understand the only home worth keeping demands that they open their hearts to love . . .… (more)

I loved this book about an ex con coming home after seven years in prison. I thought the emotions were genuine and the characters full and well rounded. The heroine was struggling to keep her farm afloat while her grandfather was in the hospital. The farm in question was the hero's family farm which had had to be sold after he went to prison and his mother was in a car accident. Now the hero has come back to his small hometown because his mother is in a nursing home here and he eventually wants to get his farm back.

There was POV from both the hero and the heroine. I loved feisty tough talking heroine and the quiet steady hero. Here the hero was not sent away for a crime he didn't commit but for manslaughter after a fight led to someone dying. He suffers a lot of guilt over it and feels unworthy of the heroine.

A totally sweet well written love story. ( )
