Titus Shepherd once had it all. Born into a wealthy southern family, he ruled the high school football field, married the town sweetheart, and fathered a beloved son. His future as the next mayor seemed certain. But fate took a cruel turn, and now hes a reclusive widower raising his four-year-old son alone.
Pedro Torres was destined for academic success in Mexico until disaster forced him to abandon his dreams for the sake of his family. Determined to change his circumstances, he migrated to the US as a landscaper, aspiring to gain citizenship and bring his mother to their new home.
Both men sacrificed happiness for their families, and neither believed in love at first sight. However, a chance meeting at the Shepherd country home in the summer of 1995 sparked a passionate affair, as fierce and fated as the humidity, stars, and fireflies on a hot southern night.
But will their love withstand the harsh preconceptions and deep-seated prejudices of small-town Spoon, Georgia?
