Adele, the eldest Kinsley daughter, has always carried the burden of being the responsible one-even as her marriage crumbled and she discovered that her husband was a thief. When he is killed during a robbery, Adele flees to Glory, Montana, with her one-year-old son, desperate to escape both her painful past and her husband's dangerous partner. There, she meets Ethan, a single father raising two orphaned children.
Ethan has his own reasons for taking an interest in Adele. His employer lost a considerable sum in her husband's final robbery and has promised Ethan a generous reward for recovering the stolen money. Convinced Adele may know where it is hidden, Ethan sets out to gain her trust and uncover the truth. But the closer he gets to the lovely young widow, the more his suspicions give way to admiration-and then to love.
As Adele begins to believe she might find safety and happiness with Ethan, the secrets surrounding her husband's crimes threaten their growing bond. Ethan must choose between completing his mission and protecting the woman he has come to love, while Adele must decide whether she can risk trusting another man with her heart. Their chance at a future together depends on whether love can survive the truth about the past.
