Justice brought him home. Love might be what keeps him there.

When Army veteran Cameron Pope returns to Jubilee, Kentucky for the first time in years, he expects to confront ghosts--but not the kind that steal children in the night. He's barely unpacked when his young niece has a chilling brush with a human trafficking ring, plunging him into a life-or-death investigation that threatens the fragile peace of his hometown.

Rusty Caldwell--the woman Cameron loved and lost--has her own reasons to join the search for justice. She's still strong, still stunning... and still untouchable. As a member of Jubilee's elite, Rusty is bound by small-town divisions that see Cameron as nothing more than mountain-born trouble. But this time, she's not willing to walk away.

As Cameron and Rusty race to protect the innocent and expose a predator embedded in the town's social fabric, their rekindled connection burns hotter than ever. Forged by history and tested by secrets, if they're brave enough to face the truth, they might just be each other's salvation.
