For as long as he can remember, Rawley Cooper has loved Faith Leigh. But
the cruelty of his childhood haunts him and he knows he's undeserving of
Faith. When she comes to him on the night of her nineteenth birthday,
they both give into temptation. But the searing kiss reaffirms what he's
always known: he can't have a lifetime of her in his arms. To protect
his heart, he packs his things and heads west.
Faith has always adored the boy her parents took in and raised. But
she's not certain she can ever forgive him for riding out of her life
just when she needed him the most. When an urgent telegram forces him to
return six years later, Rawley discovers Faith is now a woman to be
reckoned with.
As old feelings are stirred back to life and new passions take hold,
they both must confront secrets from their past or risk losing a legacy
of love.
