But when graduation rolls around and Norah takes a mysterious scholarship and Theo is suddenly shipped off to the Army a few weeks later, Lukas is left to follow in his father's footsteps.
It's not until his brother is killed-in-action and Norah shows back up in Varner with a little boy a few years later, that he understands exactly why she left.
After all these years, Lukas can't help but still feel protective of Norah and now that he's the new Sheriff, he can finally protect her how he always dreamed he could.
Until he discovers the truth.
Can time heal his wounds when lies and deception is all that surrounds their past? And can Norah learn to forgive the people who hurt her most and move on with her life?
One little boy may be the answer to heal both their hearts.
