Widower Luke Dole is finally getting his life back on trackโexcept for the fractured relationship with his twelve-year-old daughter, Emily. Just as he thinks heโs beginning to rebuild their connection, Emily runs awayโagain. He finds her sneaking into the window of a vacant rental property. When he climbs in after his daughter, Luke is shocked to find someone living inside the tiny house.
Anita Ricardo moved to Mercy to provide a better life for herself and her unborn child. The house sheโs rented turns out to be a bit of a fixer-upper, and more than she bargained for. She smacks an intruder with a skillet, only to find out itโs Luke, a man she once worked withโand once kissed, a moment sheโs never forgotten.
But Anita isnโt interested in a man to solve her problemsโshe can do that on her own. And Luke isnโt sure heโs ready to move on from his wifeโs death, either. When Anitaโs employment plans fall through, Luke offers her an opportunity with his fledgling business. It all sounds good, except for the pesky problem of the chemistry that flares between them like hot summer lightning. Will either of them be brave enough to risk becoming a forever family?
