Tormented

Layla Evans traded in her heels and her briefcase for jeans and cowboy boots after inheriting a Virginia ranch from her estranged father. She hopes the quiet life of a rural rancher will ease painful memories from what should have been the biggest case of her law career. The careful balance she finally strikes is threatened when vandals destroy her property. Meeting the reclusive Ben Callahan, a man obviously tormented by demons of his own, tips that delicate balance toward insanity. With a broken heart, tortured soul, and scars that run far more than skin deep, Ben has settled into a life of solitude. He spends his days working his small ranch and his nights trying to forget the days he spent as a POW and the lost love of a fiancé unable deal with the broken man he had become. Layla disturbs the solitary existence he's carved out for himself. When someone with a vendetta shows up and threatens her very existence, can they rescue each other and let love heal them both?
