When Allie Robbins broke his heart, Noah Sterling couldn’t leave Hinton fast enough. He joined the military, then the FBI. Ten years later, a domestic terrorism case forces him to return, only to discover that Allie is now a widowed mother with one young son--and that she's suspected of aiding the group responsible for setting area churches ablaze.

Allie can't believe her eyes. Noah is back in Hinton, and he’s asking questions. She's not worried about the investigation, because she's innocent. But she's willing to do anything to keep him from asking the one question that could destroy her life--a question about her son. Then the boy is kidnapped, and she must reveal the truth in order to save him by turning to the one man she can trust--and the only one who can take her son away. Noah. His father.
