She'd never told him the secret that shamed her into leaving. And when Tasha learned that Josh had married and moved on, she'd known the man of her dreams was lost to her forever.
Yet now that Tasha's had to return to Emmett's Mill, she can't avoid Josh-handsome as ever, a single father who hadn't forgotten their love. Or forgiven her for leaving.
