A small-town sheriff looking for love after loss... Wayne Collins has lived in Ouray, Colorado, all his life. As sheriff, he's seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of small-town life. He has raised a son, buried a wife, and never truly gotten over his high school sweetheart. When the rumors begin to fly about her return, he tried to act unaffected, but his broken heart told him otherwise. A woman coming home to the life she left behind... Ava had left her hometown of Ouray, twenty-five years before to pursue a writing career in Chicago. She had raised two daughters, overcome the grief of being the widow of a cop, and is ready to move back home when her daughters decide to to go to school in Colorado. Her heart longs for the mountains and perhaps the young love she had forsaken so many years before. One small town that's hiding secrets... Ava and Wayne are finally together, a dream come true after years of separation. Their love is the stuff of fairytales and dreams. But there's one problem. Not everyone is happy to see the lovebirds together again, and someone is willing to kill her and her girls to erase the past. ***Home to Ouray is part of Samantha A.
