Olivia Parker has big dreams that will take her far away from the small town she grew up in. But when she inherits a rundown cottage near secluded Briars Creek, she can’t resist the thrill of a new adventure and creating a home of her own. A home that’s right across the creek from Isaac Stone.
In place of the boy Olivia once knew, is a rugged man with emotional walls as imposing as the mountains around them. But Olivia is determined to unravel the secrets and in the seclusion of the mountainside, their connection sparks. And although Olivia is a bright spot in a lonely existence, Isaac is afraid his past demons are enough to cast them both in shadow.
