A love neither expected, begins at first sight. Since divorcing her ex-husband nine years ago, thirty-five-year-old Patience Harvey has focused on rebuilding her life and raising her eight-year-old daughter, Noelle. Thriving and content with her career and her growing family, the last thing that Patience is thinking about is entertaining another relationship. Running a successful construction company from the ground up has kept Michael Carter busy. However, after three years as a single man, the thirty-seven-year-old bachelor has reached the point where he's longing for companionship, but feels that he's missed his chance. That is, until an unexpected detour to a bakery leads him to meet a fellow patron who immediately catches his eye-and unbeknownst to her-captures his heart. Patience never imagined that a pit stop for a few pastries would put her in the presence of a man who could make her consider diving back into dating. Yet as she continues crossing paths with the enticing Michael, she knows she's ready. However, as courtship flourishes into romance, Patience's past resurfaces, threatening not only their bliss, but her sanity. Will Patience's past trauma tear this new relationship apart? Or can she and Michael overcome the obstacles thrown their way to reach their happily-ever-after?
