She had everything her parents wanted — except the one thing she yearned for, which was the love of Burke Prins. When Karissa's wealthy parents forced her to choose between Burke and her future, she chose wrong, and she's been paying for it ever since. Now she's back in Aspen Valley running her aunt's fabric shop, quietly trying to rebuild her life beneath the long shadow of her father's shameful secrets. Then Burke walks through her door — and every reason she stayed away walks right in with him. Forgiveness is a stitch-by-stitch kind of work, and love the most stubborn pattern of all. Some things, it turns out, were always worth coming back for.
