He’s a direct descendant of the town’s founder, the first Samuel Montford, and for him Shelter Valley’s expectations had become oppressive. Home had become smothering instead of sheltering.
Sam returns to the town—and to his ex-wife, Cassie Tate— with a seven-year-old child. This is a complete shock to Cassie. When Sam left, he hadn’t known she was pregnant. Or that she had lost their baby.
Sam’s back in Shelter Valley now, back to stay. But he refuses to become the man people expected him to be ten years ago. Can he be the man Cassie needs now?
