The Heart of Summers (Hidden Beauty #13)

Otherwise, why would Brynley Meeker meet one of the most handsome men she's ever seen smack in the middle of the dairy aisle ... while his son is having a meltdown, and the mystery guy looks ready to pass out. Sometimes life is all about being in the right place at the right time — even when it can seem all sorts of wrong. Folk musician, Joe Summers thought he had his life under control. It only took a spur of the moment trip to the grocery store to show him how wrong he was. Can he afford to change everything based on a chance encounter? After all, his son, Brody, is counting on him. He took a chance with Brody's mom, and it had disastrous consequences. Inviting Brynley into their lives could make things even worse. Brynley has been through a lot. The last thing she wants to do is harm Joe Summers or his adorable son. It's hard not to take his reluctance personally. Perhaps they could all use a few changes in their lives. If Brynley can convince Joe to listen to his heart instead of his fear, things would be perfect. The Heart of Summers is a complete novel and can be read as a standalone. However, reading other books in the series will provide additional context.
