Even the most unexpected circumstances may teach us how to forgive what cannot be changed...

Ember Wilde returns to Candlewood Falls to reconcile her life. Recently divorced, she quits her banal job and decides the timing is good to care for her ailing mother. Only her parents don't want her help.

Raf Alvarez built a respectable life although the odds were stacked against him. When his world epically turns on its head, he isn't prepared. Falling for Ember Wilde surprises him most of all because her family will never accept him and his family's questionable history.

Ember isn't interested in any man at the moment—especially not one with strong opinions and who works at her father's orchard. But sometimes the heart knows better.

Ember and Raf will have to fight for their chance at a future filled with love and purpose, or allow the past to steal the destiny they deserve.
