She's ready to give up.

He's not a quitter.

Will the wounds of the past steal their future?

Aspen Cove offers Natalie Keane the peace and quiet she lacked growing up in foster care. While fear of getting too close to anyone has led her to settle on the outskirts of town, she's found a happy routine, until life throws her a massive curveball in the form of the little brother she never knew existed. Thrust into parenthood, Natalie faces the enormous task of handling a rebellious twelve-year-old. When the little troublemaker steals from a local business owner, Natalie must not only tackle her first true test in parenting but also face her growing feelings for the handsome store owner ... who she may have threatened to poison.

Life coach Jake Powers got a second chance after receiving a kidney transplant a decade ago. When a pink envelope arrives bearing a heartfelt letter from the mother of his donor, Jake is drawn to Aspen Cove by the need to give back to the family who gave him so much. The town's need for a bookstore is the perfect opportunity, and once it's up and running, he can move on to his ultimate dream-working at a high-profile retreat center where he can make a name for himself. But when he sees Natalie struggling to get her brother on the right track, he's drawn to the beautiful woman with stone walls built around her heart.

Aspen Cove, where home and family take on a whole new meaning...
