It's a bittersweet homecoming for Trish Clayborne when she returns to Desperation, Oklahoma…and comes face–to–face with her ex–fiancé. Morgan Rule broke her heart when—without a word of explanation—he called off their wedding. She figured things between them were about as over as they could get. Until she found out she was pregnant.

Morgan is stunned when he hears the news. He's even more shocked when Trish tells him she plans to raise their child on her own. Not if he has anything to say about it! But how can he do right by Trish and their baby without revealing his true reasons for ending their relationship? And will Trish let him?

This honorable sheriff has some explaining to do!
