Now, he's keeping his head down at Keeneland trying to stay out of trouble--except trouble finds him in the form of Rose Parmenter. Rose's perfectly ordered life is bubbling along very nicely. Except for the fact that she hates her mother's endless snobby society lunches, she'd rather be a photographer than an accountant and she doesn't love her successful businessman fiancé, Geoffrey.

Fleeing for her life, she winds up at enchanting Lockwood Farm—the place she'd always dreamed of as a kid, only to find that dealing with Lockwood's good-looking but cocky owner Blake Harrison, is a whole lot more than she bargained for. When her presence is unexpectedly discovered, events take a swift and ugly turn.

After a passionate waterfall encounter, Tatum's tangled web of secrets starts to unravel and Blake is rocked by the discovery of a devastating secret that leaves him with an impossible choice: does he try and save the family farm he cherishes...or the woman he’s come to love?

Only a chance encounter with old family friend—tall, handsome Marcus, has her thinking twice. She soon finds herself falling for her cute new roomie and his adorable young son, but when the fashion sharks start to circle again and Laura turns to the one guy she thought she could count on - can she survive the worst betrayal of them all? “Alexa Bloom draws you into her richly compelling world of characters so seductively, you'll be rooting for Tatum and Blake like you've
