At nineteen, Becky Friessen is caught between the family she loves and a future she has yet to figure out. Everyone seems to have an opinion about what she should do next—her parents, her uncle, even the people who believe being a Friessen means her path has already been decided.
Then an accident brings her face-to-face with Dr. Tom Campbell.
Older, guarded, and far too accustomed to getting his own way, Tom is everything Becky should avoid. He does not offer promises, does not believe in relationships, and makes no secret of wanting things entirely on his terms.
But Becky Friessen has never been as easy to manage as anyone believes.
As attraction pulls them into something neither expected, Tom’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel. Questions about the past he refuses to discuss are moving closer, whispers are spreading through town, and someone seems determined to make sure Becky learns the truth.
With the Friessen family watching closely, Becky must decide whether Tom is a man worth trusting—or the kind of mistake that could change everything.
Because sometimes one reckless moment is all it takes to expose the secrets people will do anything to keep buried.
