Junior Morrison walked away from the woman he loved to join the military.



Now, he's dedicated to helping victims of human trafficking at a healing ranch. When his boss challenges his team—including Junior—to face their past regrets, Junior might get a second chance with the woman he still can't forget.



Gabby Loftens gave up her dreams of a life with Junior to become a counselor, determined to help others where she couldn't heal herself.



When Junior unexpectedly calls, asking for her help, she's skeptical—but curiosity draws her to the ranch. What she doesn't expect is the rush of feelings still simmering between them . . . or the painful question of why he walked away.



When Gabby unknowingly leads a trafficking victim back to her captor, Junior and the Wayside team must protect her—and the ranch—from bold enemies determined to kidnap her again. If the men of Wayside fail, everything they've worked for could be destroyed.
