I've taken pucks to the face...
But nothing hits harder than hearing her call me Dad.
I return to Cedar Hollow for my father's funeral. Not for forgiveness. Not for Poppy. And definitely not for the daughter I never knew was mine.
Poppy rebuilt her life without me-and she has every reason not to trust the man who left her behind.
But the moment I meet my little girl, everything changes. Walking away isn't an option anymore.
They can warn her about me all they want. This time, I'm not leaving.
I'll burn this town to the ground before I lose them again.
