About this ebook

"Jennifer Ryan is at the height of her story-telling best. Page-turning, powerful, with high stakes drama and unforgettable romance, I couldn't put this novel down!"—Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author

If you like Jill Shalvis and Susan Mallery, you’ll love Jennifer Ryan’s exciting new novel, where a young woman has the chance to rebuild her life and become the woman she was always meant to be…

An inheritance she never expected…

 After serving time for a crime she didn’t commit, Evangeline returns home to discover her father left her solely responsible for the family’s failing ranch, her mother blames her for her father’s death, and her brothers want her out of their way. With her family’s future squarely on her shoulders, she desperately searches for ways to save their home—before they lose everything.

A chance to right past mistakes…

Her only ally, Chris Chambers. The cop who sent her away is positive she took the fall for someone else. And if she helps him track down the real criminals, he’ll clear her record. But the closer Evangeline and Chris get to exposing the truth—and to each other—the deeper Evangeline is drawn into a dangerous sting that will finally bring her justice and pave the way for a bright future.

Ratings and reviews

I am not one to write reviews often, I'm very picky and overly opinionated when it comes to books. I very rarely if ever pay for a book. I paid $7.99 for this one and would do it again! This story is told where you honestly feel like you're there. You are living the story. It was such a breath of fresh air. How good people pay high prices for those they love, yet still come out being good. The background story with Chris and Evangeline was perfect, to show mistakes can be made and repaired. It kept me intrigued and I'd never have guessed the twists and turns. A definite read. I've read it twice already!

Loved this book! Did not want to put it down.

Another fantastic read by Jennifer Ryan!
