She’s been wronged. And she’s hurting.
Can he help her wipe the slate clean and escape her past?


From his first meeting with organic farmer Christine Turner on a rain-slicked highway, Police Chief Dale Lewis is intrigued. But Oak Hill’s newest resident wants nothing to do with men in general—and lawmen in particular. Which is fine by him. Troubled women are trouble.

Yet when Dale discovers she’s been wronged, his passion for justice compels him to help. As their paths begin to cross, Dale’s five-year-old daughter falls hard for Christine. And he’s not far behind.

Still, romance is a risk for a woman who’s been hurt and a man who’s been burned. But in America’s heartland, might they find the courage to take a second chance on love?

In this RITA Award finalist book, bestselling author Irene Hannon once again captivates readers with a small-town-America story that celebrates the power of love to transform lives.

    This is an excellent stort challenging one to understand and care for abused women.

    Really good love story. Great characters and a plot filled with enough issues that were being dealt with by the two main characters that it held your attention. A nice break of hope and goodness much needed in today's world.

    I like how the difficult subjects were dealt with. The township characters were warm and touching. Liked how they cared and involved the new person into their community and helped establish her farm. Enjoyed how wrongs were put right. Jenna was lovely. A good ending too.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2025

    Christine Turner moves to Oak Hill to escape a troubling past, but she has an aversion to a handsome lawman with an adorable young daughter. As she and Dale work together to unravel her abusive past, they are surprised to find that they might just have an opportunity for second chances. The romance is sweet but there are a plenty of obstacles for both of them to overcome. I found the romance to be a bit rushed considering both of their past history.
    I have read and thoroughly enjoyed several of Irene Hannon’s novels. This one is part of the Heartland Homecoming series, but can be read as a stand-alone. This has been updated from 2009 as an encore edition. I have no problem recommending any of her novels. Irene Hannon is a multiple award-winning novelist and is a best-selling author.

    Great story, great characters, great writing! I'm a very picky reader (an author myself), so it's says something that I will gladly purchase more of her books. :)
