After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughterโs life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself.
The only person who hasnโt closed the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kennaโs daughter. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger is slowly becoming an important part of Kennaโs life, both would risk losing the trust of everyone important to them.
The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk. Kenna must find a way to absolve the mistakes of her past in order to build a future out of hope and healing.
After five years in prison, a woman desperately hopes to connect with her young daughter, despite those intent on keeping her away.

Theyโll do anything to keep her away, but sheโs intent on proving herself, on getting to know the daughter taken away at birth.
With no money, no job and no one to advocate for her, Kenna latches on to her only friendโa local bar owner she meets when arriving in town.
