After years of struggle, artist Willow Vaughn finally has a stellar career as a botanical artist, a beautiful Victorian house in Westchester, New York, and success running a thriving artists’ retreat. But she is willing to risk it all for what she desperately needs most, the truth behind the shattering crime that robbed her of her beloved parents many years ago. Searching for answers, Willow is drawn to handsome Jake Rivers, whose gentle touch stirs her deepest, most hidden passions.

Jake Rivers had returned home to save his family’s struggling landscaping company, which had taken care of the Vaughn estate for years. He never expected to fall in love with the quietly alluring Willow Vaughn. Knowing in his heart that she is the woman he has been waiting for all his life, Jake cannot understand why his family has treated her with such hostility from the moment they met her. And when secrets from both their families surface, everything they cherish most is threatened. Now, Jake and Willow must trust the passion between them if they are to put the shadows of the past to rest and discover a love to treasure for a lifetime.
