When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds inside and out. At his sisters' B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. It's business that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, she find everything about Ethan irritating ́from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk. All they have in common is their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts.
