A former major league baseball player, bitter and angry, and a quiet single mom, tired and poor.
Single mom Peyton Sinclair came to the town of Sweet Water to raise her son away from the influence of her ex-husband's mother. She's happy with her bookstore and bake shop and is not interested in doing anything but making a living and raising her son.
Bryce Shaker had been baseball's highest paid athlete at one point in his career. But his career had gone downhill after a brutal accident left him scarred and bitter. He retired to the old, run-down mansion north of Sweet Water and just wants to be left along – after he gets the six thousand books in the old, crumbling library catalogued.
Sweet Water's matchmakers soon have Peyton at Bryce's mansion, working on his books, but she barely sees Bryce – until a ghost from his past forces him to ask for her help.
On the surface they have nothing in common, but could a friendship forged between this unlikely pair grow into something more?
