Camila Walker has spent years overcoming rumors and gossip to build a better life for herself and her twelve-year-old daughter, Jilly. Then Tripp Daniels, rodeo star, returns home demanding answers about Camila's relationship with his brother and, more particularly, about Jilly's paternity.

Tripp has always known--but never acknowledged--that he loves Camila. But all those years ago she belonged to his brother, and his family loyalty came first. Now he has a chance to put things right, for Jilly, for Camila--and for him.

But Camila can't let herself love the handsome cowboy, not until she tells him her secret.
