When Mara Byrne returns to the small upstate New York town she once escaped, she tells herself it is just business. A quick trip. A few meetings. A grant her powerful father insists she oversee. But the streets of Hudson Falls have a long memory, and so does Jack Flynn, the man she left behind with words sharp enough to make sure he would never follow. Jack is trying to keep his father’s garage alive, keep his town from falling apart, and keep Mara Byrne out of his head. Until the riverbank starts collapsing and the Byrne Foundation arrives with money that comes wrapped in control. Jack knows exactly what Patrick Byrne is, and he will not let Hudson Falls be bought.

Because this time the choice is not just whether Mara stays. It is whether she finally tells the truth about why she left, and whether love can survive the power that tore them apart.
