Calder Sloane left Bianca Quinn on a Thursday with a ring in his pocket and never once explained.
Eleven years later he's back in her kitchen, rifle by the screen door, guarding a dying man's estate-and Bianca has been hired to appraise every acre of it.

And Bianca's own brother is on the list.
She should walk away. She already walked away once, in the other direction, with worse timing.
But Calder kept the ring. Bianca's about to find out what eleven years of that looks like.
