Seventeen-year-old Isabella Campbell is forced to give up her newborn daughter. Twenty-plus years later, Destiny gets the surprise of her life when her birth mother, now a librarian in Evergreen, Washington, contacts her.

Despite Destiny's adoptive mother's suspicions about Isabella, Destiny accepts Isabella's invitation to visit. While Bella learns the joys of motherhood, Destiny begins working in a local bookstore with Isabella's friend, Henry, whose nephew, Gavin Cambridge, is temporarily overseeing the store. But he  thinks the struggling bookstore should be shut down and, frankly, he's more interested in pursuing Isabella. But she has a history of failed love affairs and is wary of committing herself, only to be hurt again.

Gavin is all about business. Isabella is all heart, and not about to give herself away easily—especially if she'll have to give up her home, her friends, her beloved job at the Evergreen Library and the daughter she's just found again.

What can Gavin do to change Isabella's mind? And will Destiny's presence get in the way?
