Memory and Desire

The Ozarks– these legendary hills held the secret and the shame– of her past, the past that had to be faced before she could shape her future.

No longer a wild hot-blooded girl, daughter of a poor tenant farmer, Blair Logan had come home a wealthy young widow. But Farrett's Corner had a long memory. Its people were slow to forgive and forget. Imperious, arrogant, bitter with rage, Matt Farrett was no exception. Blind to the truth, he still thought her a conniving seductress, still blamed her for his brother's death. But as he took her in his arms to prove her easy, Blair knew that only the coolest head could prove her innocent love– a love she had treasured in memory even as years of longing had inflamed her desire.
