Jake Monroe is back after spending the last ten years in prison. Jake is home and wants his life back. First he must prove that he is innocent of the murder that he was convicted of, as well as, the recent robberies that have plagued the town since his return. Jake is a proud man who has lost so much, but not even Jake knows everything that going to jail cost him.Rachel Penning did not have the courage to stand up for Jake ten years ago, but she wants to do it now. The only problem is that Rachel is the one that could lose everything. Her job is to be Jake's probation officer. Even more than that, her job is to protect her son, the son Jake does not know that he has.I love the bad boy comes home plot. Jake tries so hard to be the big, proud, strong man. Inside Jake is lonely, scared, and in a lot of pain. There were moments that I wanted to smack Rachel for keeping Jake's son a secret. At times, it seemed Rachel was looking out for herself and not her son. Rachel's behavior is nothing compare to that of the town's people. People can be so cruel at times. Linda Markowiak has a wonderful ability to get to the heart of what people are feeling. Even my own feelings that Rachel had selfish motives for keeping her son's parentage a secret were expressed through some of the characters. This was a very well written story that keeps the reader interested and entertained.
