The conflict escalates quickly, leaving traces of blood and a dead body. After an unexpected arrest is made, Chief Kent Harrison and the Brandon Police Force undertake the investigation. As the pieces of the puzzle begin to take shape, the real motive of the murder is uncovered laced with insatiable greed, family betrayal, undaunted jealousies and amost unexpected attraction.  

Having tested the strength of love through an alluring big city career opportunity, an unexpected twist of fate presents opportunity to return to Brandon. Can her love be saved despite the changes brought by time?  Will she still be the woman he loves?
