A love caught between two worlds. A heart torn between duty and desire. A choice that will define her future…
Hope Clark has spent years proving her worth as a doctor in Defiance, fighting skepticism with skill and compassion. But when her own body betrays her, doubts creep in. Could Dr. Edward Pratt be right? Does her future truly lie in a prestigious Philadelphia hospital instead of this rugged frontier town? And if so…what will that mean for the people she loves—especially one steadfast cowboy?
Lane Chandler never expected to fall for a woman like Hope. She’s brilliant, determined, and meant for something greater than the simple life he can offer…or so Pratt keeps insisting. As Lane wrestles with his own feelings, one truth becomes clear: letting Hope go might be the right thing to do, but it might also break him.
With her heart pulled in two directions, Hope must decide where she belongs. Will she follow the path laid before her, or fight for the life—and the love—she never expected?
In a town built on resilience and faith, one woman must trust in love to guide her home.
