Edwyn Brookings has been the foreman at Wayside Ranch almost since the beginning. He's a rule follower to his core.

He broke one rule. One time. And it cost him the love of his life. Now, he adheres to the letter of the law, no give or take. He wants to see Nadine again, but knowing what his love cost her, why would she?

Nadine Ham left the navy for having a relationship with a superior officer, while he was allowed to keep his job. Life continued to be unfair for Nadine until years later when she is offered the chance to see him again. With revenge on her mind, she agrees. He's enemy #1 and nothing will stand in the way of ruining his life.

If only the chemistry between them wasn't so strong.

When the wives of the Wayside men decide to go on the offensive against known traffickers, her expertise will come in handy, but does she need their help at all? When the traffickers figure out their mission, will all of them be in danger?
