Charles McIntyre buried his haunted history long ago, emerging as a devoted husband and a man of God with a bold vision for Defiance—a once lawless town poised for transformation. Determined to usher in an era of prosperity and grace, Charles now faces an old nemesis whose return threatens to unravel everything he holds dear. With his family’s safety on the line, he must decide: will he lean on the Lord’s strength, or will the demons of his past break his resolve?
Riding into Defiance with fierce ambition, Hope Clark is set on proving that a woman’s healing touch is every bit as powerful as a man’s. But to win the respect she deserves, she must hide her true medical expertise—until lies force her into a heart-wrenching battle between life and death, love and loneliness. Can her hidden truths ultimately lead to redemption, or will they cost her everything?
In a town where every soul is written in defiance, two hearts must confront their inner demons to protect all they cherish.
