Returning to Cypress Landing brings back the best-- and worst--moments of Cade Wheeler's life. Because the bayou was where he'd first tasted the sweetness of love and the bitterness of loss... . Ten years ago Brijette Dupre had been a pregnant backwoods girl who felt her only choice was to accept the Wheelers' money--to leave Cade alone. She couldn't know his family had lied to them both... .
Now Cade's back. Considering their past relationship "and" current attraction, working with him is hard enough. Add to the mix his unknown daughter--the daughter Brijette had kept despite the Wheelers' demands--and it becomes close to impossible.
The identity of her daughter's father is a secret, one that single mother Haley Clayton must keep forever--for a very good reason. But when a tragedy takes the man's life--a tragedy Haley fears was her fault--the truth comes out. And now the man's stepbrother, handsome rancher Jared Sinclair, wants answers.
Why has Haley kept the child from his family? What is she hiding? Haley can't tell him--ever. But then Jared insists Haley and young Sarah spend time at the family ranch, where she discovers he's not just a proud cowboy; he's her--and her daughter's-- deepest wish.
