So when Duncan, the farm’s former owner, comes seeking a job, Franki knows she’s in no position to turn him away. Soon, their convenient partnership turns into a budding passion they’re both powerless to resist.
But both Franki and Duncan have an enemy lurking in their midst, determined to destroy not only their love, but their very lives.
