Tameka Chalmers knows that her father’s farming methods are outdated, inefficient, and even dangerous. There’s so much she would like to do differently, but her father’s rule is absolute, and she must do as she’s told or be prepared for the consequences.
When Harley confronts her about the damage to his crop, the interaction triggers an unexpected chain reaction that throws everything she’s ever known into question.

“This is such a great story so many emotions you will be laughing shedding tears and sighing as we journey a path to a HEA that is fabulous there is danger along the way bullies to be dealt with but above all we have a hero who is just gorgeous caring loving, a hero to dream of sit back and enjoy..”
Eileen Dunn – Goodreads
“This story is pacey and gritty. I really enjoyed how Kees wove the love story so adroitly through the narrative.
The gradual revelation of sinister events in Tameka’s life set against a backdrop of community unrest for which she feels responsible, kept me engaged and eager to read more. A great story, Juanita Kees.”
Shelagh Merlin – Goodreads
“This one is a corker and had me on the edge of my seat from the start. This story builds the suspense on several levels. The danger facing them and the awful things that keep happening are hard to imagine yet perfectly plausible. The combination of these elements with a well structured plot make this a thoroughly entertaining story.”
