R.J. Scott is getting better all the time. The story of Dr. Liam Wolfe is no exception. The good doctor has been standing by and supporting all of his friends in Ellery and their new relationships. It is tough being one of the last single gay men in town, but he is happy for his friends.When previous bad boy, Mitchell, rolls into town with his niece in tow to take over half ownership of the cabin resorts that he bought from Luke, he quickly meets Liam. Unfortunately, the way they meet is not the best. Mitchell's niece, Bobbie, is very sick when he gets to town. By the time he gets to the cabins, Daniel’s mom instants on taking Bobbie to the hospital. Liam is her doctor and he has to remove her appendix. Mitchell is Bobbie's “not so legal” guardian, although his sister has asked him to take her while she is recovering from depression. He is trying to make a stable life for him, Bobbie, and his sister, Annabelle, when she is released from the facility again.Mitchell is very surprised by the acceptance he finds in Ellery, something he is not at all familiar with in his life. His wealthy parents are completely unsupportive of him being gay, and his sister being sick. Mitchell’s parents want to put Bobbie in some ritzy private school and raise her the “right” way, but Mitchell can't let that happen. He can't let her be raised in the kind of unaccepting family life he and his sister endured.As Mitchell and Bobbie get settled in at the hotel and his new job at the resort, he and Liam begin spending time together. They realize quickly they have something special. Scott does a wonderful job of showing how small time communities can be extremely powerful . Mitchell, Bobbie, and Annabelle are welcomed with open arms. They are provided a new cabin all the guys helped build together at the resort. The family is supported completely in their desire to provide a loving, accepting home for Bobbie, proving that sometimes family doesn't have anything to do with blood relatives.
