Graeme McAlister has returned home to Texas to discover why his foster brother, Wyatt Benning, overdosed on morphine and crashed the company jet. The idea makes no sense, but the NTSB found the plane to be mechanically sound, and the coroner's report confirms suicide. Graeme is determined to uncover the truth and return to his life in Washington, D.C. but, when he sees his brother's widow, past feelings resurface that he'd long ago buried. Will he be able to restore his brother's honor and handle the biggest revelation of all? A widow at the age of twenty-eight, Maggie Benning, resolves to establish a successful and independent life for herself and her five-year-old son, Andy. Her initial goal is getting back her RN job at the hospital ER where she was accused of stealing the drugs that killed her husband ten months ago. She's reconstructing her shattered life when Graeme McAlister comes back to McTiernan, Texas and stirs up old memories and emotions. Can she overcome past hurt and loss of trust to accept the possibility of a new love in her life?
