Zach Castro came to Shady Grove to figure out what do with his life after a devastating injury, but he gets more than he bargained for when he rents a room at Fay Lindemuth’s bed-and-breakfast. He’s intrigued by the single-mother’s strength, kindness and beauty, but he needs to keep his distance from Fay and her two young sons. Because not only is Fay battling her own inner demons, but she’s still hung up on her ex-husband. And as an ex-marine with no plans for the future, Zach has nothing to offer her and her sons. Except his heart.
