SummaryArmy Ranger Luke Boudreau commanded a secret mission that
went horribly awry. The physical wounds he takes away from
the experience are inconsequential compared to his guilt
for the loss of a fellow soldier—a man who will never
be recognized for his bravery because of the covert nature
of their operation. When Luke is recovered enough, he
travels to Grover, Mississippi to pay his respects to a
woman who gave her son to the service of his country. He
must do so in a way that doesn't reveal the true
circumstances of the man's death. He braces himself for a
mother's bitter anger, secretly hoping this encounter will
begin to deliver him from his torment.
However, what he finds in Grover is far from either
recrimination or absolution. He is quickly drawn into a
family that desperately needs his help—a younger
brother bent on self-destruction and a mother with a
secret burden of her own. And most shocking of all, he
discovers a beautiful widow he didn't know existed—a
woman who tempts him to break his own moral code.
