    About this ebook

    Sometimes what you think you need least is what you need most.

    Jenn Meyers has come home to take over the books for the family farm while her father recuperates from his stroke. She thought she'd put this part of her life behind her, trading in the tractor and blue jeans for sports cars and business suits. However, the longer she's home, the easier it is for her to fit in once more.

    Tony Blackstone hasn't forgotten the woman who stole his heart all those years ago, despite the fact she never even known he was alive. Now that she's back, all his feelings are resurfacing. Trouble is, she doesn't seem all that keen on staying. He wants her to stray his way and not back to the big city. Can he show her that her place is here in The Edge, with him?

    Reader advisory: This book is part of a series and is best read in order.
