A decade ago in Douglas, Arizona not far from the Mexican border Zack Hunter met nineteen year old Skylar McKenna and fell in love. However, he was a troubled youth and concluded that Skylar deserved much better than a thug like him as he knew he would just bring her down into his cesspool. Instead He left town breaking her heart, but keeping her from drowning in his ooze.

Ten years since he made that honorable momentous decision to leave, Zack has spent the entire time wondering if he did the right thing as his heart says no while his brain insists he had to for both their sakes. He is back in town, a respectable lawman who immediately at first sight wants the still unmarried Sky at his side forever. Zack believes that if he catches the rustlers stealing cattle from her Flying M Ranch, she will forgive and take him back. He still does not understand her love for him remains unconditional.

This engaging border second chance at love romance provides a vivid picture of ranching in an area where illegal contraband that includes people is smuggled into the country. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Zack returns home and never slows down whether he is hunting rustlers and smugglers or having sex with his beloved. Although he can be an overbearing bully with his claim that she has no choice as she belongs to him, fans will appreciate Sky’s superior skills in disarming dangerous Zack.
