Ben's whole adult life had been spent in the army, serving his country. It was all he knew and he loved it. When his best friend Jake was permanently injured saving his life Ben knew he wanted to get out, he wanted to see what else life had in store for him.

Moving to the small country town of Jeraldee to build a house on the property he and his sister Zoe had inherited seemed like a great idea. Zoe and Jake had ended up together, with a little help from Ben, and the three of them had decided to start a brewing company, a new adventure for all of them.

It had been twelve months since he'd moved to the farm and life was plodding along at a lonely pace. Ben had almost resigned himself to the fact that he wasn't going to meet the love of his life while he lived in a small country town. The options for meeting women his age were pretty limited. That was until he walked into the local store and found the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. He knew from the first time he looked into her eyes that he was going to fall in love with her, but would she feel the same. What was is about Sara's sad eyes that made him want to help her, to take all her pain away? What was she hiding from him? And the biggest question of all, could Ben make her see that loving him wasn't a bad thing?
