Blythe Simmonds is a young widow tired of York's rigid social world and hungry for the life she set aside when she married.
Going home is the only path to that dream, yet the village she left is far from glad to see her.
Country physician Gabriel Sharpe has made his patients his whole world; marriage and children have no place in the life he has chosen, and he will not risk his heart again, least of all on the childhood sweetheart he refuses to trust.
Harvest time in a small country village makes distance nearly impossible, and the feelings they tried to bury draw them back into stolen hours together.
A second chance will demand the honesty Blythe has withheld, and Gabriel may never forgive what she has kept from him.
