After Tessa lost her parents suddenly and finding herself both incredibly wealthy and entirely alone, Tessa decides to return to the first place she ever called home.
But Cripple Creek doesn’t take kindly to what they call Tessa’s new “airs,” and even Blake Donahue, the boy Tessa loved in childhood and still loves now, is less than warm and welcoming.
Initially, he and Tessa butt heads, but as Blake begins to see that the woman he still loves hasn’t really changed all that much, he realizes maybe the problem lies with him. But will he get the chance to tell her that when danger strikes and Tessa’s very life is at stake?
