Tara Hastings never meant to come to Crystal Creek. She's fled to the Texas Hill Country hoping to protect herself and her four–year–old son from the fallout of a nasty divorce.
Grady McKinney's home is the open road. Born and raised in Crystal Creek, he thinks he's escaped it for good. Then an accident maroons him in the last place on earth he wants to stay.
Tara's taken on the task of restoring an isolated ranch house, and she desperately needs help. Grady can do almost anything except settle down. He also desperately needs a job. Responsible Tara shouldn't be attracted to footloose Grady, but she is. Worse, her vulnerable son adores him!
