Sophie Ryan was a girl from the wrong side of town, pregnant, uneducated and alone

Now she's a sheriff's deputy and has managed to put the past behind her. It's been a long time since the gossips of Treetop, Wyoming, have speculated on the identity of Joe Ryan's father, and Sophie would prefer that didn't change. But on a crisp fall day, Sophie's past comes back-in the form of Luke "Maverick" Salinger, the man who abandoned her when she needed him most.

It's Sophie's job to arrest Luke on an old warrant, even though she knows the rumors will start to fly as soon as she gets the cuffs on him. The citizens of Treetop think they know who Joe's father is, but the truth is a mystery-even to Sophie.

All Sean Rafferty wants is solitude to recover from a gunshot wound. That's why he's here on Maine's isolated Osprey Island: to heal and move on. But how can he face going back to being a Massachusetts state police officer since he's sworn off ever playing hero again?

Unfortunately, Sean can't avoid heroics when neighboring Connie Bradford's daughter keeps getting into trouble. And the fiercely independent Connie makes it clear she doesn't need a rescuer- reluctant or otherwise. The mother-and-daughter antics make his solitude seem almost too quiet.

Despite himself, Sean finds this pair wrestling their way into his heart...as if they belong there.
