Two guarded hearts…

Unexpectedly drawn together

Former foster child Kinsey Zaleski has built a new life as a dental receptionist for her foster dad, Dr. Martin. But her hard-won peace is rattled by Hunt Vargo, the brooding, battle-scarred handyman fixing up the dental office. A former army captain, Hunt isn’t looking for love—especially with someone as sunny and feisty as Kinsey, who always seems to misunderstand him. When a shady figure from Kinsey’s foster-care past resurfaces, Hunt protectively jumps in to play the part of her fake boyfriend, only to find the budding attraction between them is all too real. With both their hearts wounded and exposed, can they find the courage to let love in?
