His final mission may be the most dangerous of all...to her heart.
Autumn Messina has finally put herself first and achieved her dream of becoming a teacher. She's only sorry it's come at the expense of having to sell the once thriving Messina Farm. Autumn loves her father and the farm, but she can't do it all, and her brother has no plans to move back home. And then her brother's best friend saunters back into her life even more handsome than she remembers and arrogantly full of plans and answers to questions she no longer wants to ask. After exiting his special forces unit to return home to Last Stand, Sam Russell feels duty bound to help his best friend's struggling family farm. He's not expecting such fierce resistance in the form of a still-angry Autumn, who's become even more beautiful and tempting in his years away. Autumn doesn't want his help, but Sam has never given up so easily. And what starts off as just doing his duty quickly becomes something much more personal.
