He came back to help his brothers--but discovered a secret baby and a chance at love.
Maverick
I never intended to come back to Bent Creek. There was nothing for me, and I refused to let Flannery Jacobs reject me again. But I can't say no to my brothers.
It's not long before I run into Flannery, but something's changed. She has a daughter--one who would be the right age from the only other time I was in town. The time that Flannery let me know, in no uncertain terms, that it would never work between us.
All I want is to do the right thing, but changing Flannery's mind is impossible and trying to be a dad when the danger coming to Bent Creek is something out of my control.
But I won't rest until my family--all of my family--is safe, and Flannery and I are bringing up our child on the same land where I grew up.
Flannery
Letting Mav Harker sweet talk me almost two years ago was a huge mistake. It broke my heart to send him away, and I see his face every time I look at our daughter. It was the right choice to make, as much as it hurt.
But now he's back, and I have to confess the truth to him. His reaction is a surprise--he wants to help, to be a part of Summer's life.
And mine.
Maverick's family needs him, and all I want to do is right the wrongs of the past. So I make a decision that I hope will change everything for Mav and his brothers, and for Summer and myself.
I just hope it works before this town ignites in the tensions that have been simmering for years.
