Description
Could love bridge the chasm a hundred years of hatred had carved? She'd left Spruce Hollow a wild young girl. Now, ten years later, she'd come home a woman. Dr. Carly Hanlon could have gone anywhere, but the mountains were in her blood; the miners were her people. Her skills could help here. She hadn't expected to find Lucas waiting. He too, had returned. The jet haired, blue-eyed boy was a giant of a man, a lawyer now. Still the heat of the blood feud that divided the Hanlons and the Murdocks stood between them. Reason demanded caution and distance, yet a fiery passion bound her to the one man fate and family decreed forbidden. She'd come back an adult, free to choose, but how could she choose between duty and desire?
