Lucy Bennet is not a fan of putting herself out there.

Forever marked by her father's abandonment, she shirks from the many locals in Silverton, Oregon that tell her she's his spitting image. She looks nothing like her mother, the hometown beauty queen. There's no reason at all to think she has any sort of future ahead other than the comfortable one she has made for herself, working in the Pansy House Gift Shop. But the Gift Shop might just know better...

Daniel Moore is off track.

When an argument with his father and a night of bad decisions leads him to waking on Lucy's couch, he's more ashamed than he could possibly admit. Lucy is that sweet, small-town girl from high school that his friends teased him about, the one who'd nursed a crush on him all through his senior year. He can tell that he hasn't lived up to her ideal, but he's determined to turn it around. In doing so, can he help Lucy heal from a hurt that was never hers to carry?
