Left raising his newly orphaned nephew after a tragic accident, Aaron Baxter fears he's not cut out to be a single dad. But to give baby Jack the life he deserves--and to find a peaceful refuge for himself--Aaron moves to the idyllic Pacific Northwest town of Harper Landing. Julia Harper, descendant of the town's founder and successful frozen yogurt shop owner, is mostly resigned to her role as the often-overlooked girl next door. But when the town newcomer, Aaron, reaches out for help with Jack, she finds herself yearning to take part in a sweet love story of her own. To Aaron, the grace Julia extends is a balm for his aching heart and the guilt he feels over his sister's death. To Julia, Aaron's adoration is the key to finally realizing her own worth. With a baby in the middle, can these two hurting souls find completeness in each other?
