EvieTaking my daughter with me, I moved far away from my home town. I wanted to leave my past behind. I was not looking for a relationship. Love had got me nowhere, just pain and darkness, heartbreak and disappointment. Suddenly a shard of light brightened my world. Trey showed me compassion, love, and had broken down the walls I had tried so hard to build. My worry is, will the darkness I have been trying to hide from come back to haunt us? TreyAbused, neglected, broken and rejected; this was my life in foster care with my younger sister, Leah. I had been trying to protect her all my teenage years, but she took her own life. I was devastated by the loss and determined to make something of myself. After school, I studied law, and as a solicitor I helped survivors of domestic abuse.I never thought I'd find love and then I met Evie. Her strength amazed me; she juggled her life as a single mum and a business owner. We were drawn together, but Evie had her secrets and I had mine. Together we are strong. But are we strong enough?

Salvation can come from the unlikeliest places. Brent Ryder is sick of the limelight. Struggling to write, struggling to sing from the heart when his heart isn't in it, life on the road is taking its toll. Widow, Caleigh Flynn, hasn't looked at another man since her husband died three years ago. Feisty and strong-willed, Caleigh is happy spending her time looking after her son and serving a side helping of snark to her regular customers at Da Vinci's Lock. Until the newcomer arrives. He's not staying, just passing through. Incognito Brent wants to write the album that will revive his tired heart. To do that he must stay off the radar, but Caleigh could be the one who calls him out. While small town life grows in its charms for them both, time no longer seems to be of concern, but secrets can find you no matter where you hide and the truth always has a way of finding its way out.
