He’s a tough ex-military cowboy returning home to right old wrongs, longing for forgiveness from his childhood best friend and the only woman he ever loved. The last place Wyatt Callahan thought he'd ever return was to his home town. Vivid images of Abby — his beautiful neighbor and his one and only love — rushed through him bringing heartache. He remembered her from years ago when they were in love. She was just out of high school she had accepted his marriage proposal. When her father asked them to wait a year to marry, they had agreed. From day one he began writing Abby love letters, disappointed when he never heard back from her. Had something happened to stop her from writing to him? When he found out a year later that Abby had married his good friend, Wyatt was heartbroken. Now years later, it was the unexpected death of Abby’s husband in the line of duty that was one of the reasons he returned home. The other was the sudden death of his father, Mack Callahan. Wyatt stood rigidly nearby the fresh graves of the two men he respected and loved most in this world and knew it was time for him to come home to stay. With a dying request from his Dad and a driving need consuming him, Wyatt determined he wouldn’t stop until he made things right between himself and those he loved.
