Redeem — Janice M. Whiteaker

Is the town asshole really as bad as they say?
Beth is trying to get her life back together after the death of her husband leaves her drowning in both his debts and his lies. Unfortunately, juggling motherhood and a full-time teaching job is feeling next to impossible. Her hands full, the only time Beth manages to take for herself is spent sneaking peeks out the window at the stupidly attractive farmhand her brother-in-law brought in to help run the family farm.
Don couldn't catch a break if it fell in his hand. He fought for everything he ever had and still managed to lose every bit of it. His job. His nice apartment. His reputation.
His self-respect. Now he's vowed never to push that hard to get anything again.
But when he sees Beth struggling in a way he finds all too familiar, Don can't stop himself from trying to save her from the same fate his mother endured, even at the risk of losing the only thing he has left. His heart.
Now he's faced with a choice. Walk away from the only person who has ever really seen him as he is or decide some things are worth fighting for.
