This book is wonderful! I loved every word of it. The under lying story behind it is not so good but the characters within the story line know how to handle tough situations and are always willing to help out a friend in need. Mary Byberg knows how to tell a story but at the same time keep her readers interested in the storyline. There was romance, mystery, adventure as well as a happy ending all around.Mariah Duncan was a victim of abuse from her husband years and she currently runs a women’s shelter for other abuse victims. She is in the process of getting a bigger land donation to make an even bigger shelter for the woman of Mary’s Place. When she runs into her old high school boyfriend she realizes that even after so long the feelings that she has for him haven’t gone away. She has a son who is a big basketball player and he is becoming fast friends with Wyatt, however Mariah isn’t so sure is a good idea but what mother can say no to her child? When Mariah recognizes the pattern of abuse going on in her neighbor’s house she wants to do everything that she can to help mother and daughter to get out of the abuse anyway that she can.Wyatt Royce never thought that he would ever see Mariah again. He has been divorced before and has had his share of heart breaks but the love that he has/had for Mariah hasn’t gone away. He wants to take things slow with her and make her see that he won’t break her heart once again. He finds that he can relate to Jake, Mariah’s son because he used to play basketball in high shoal as well. Wyatt has the reputation of trying to run Mariah’s life like he used to do before but she isn’t having any of it.The attraction between Mariah and Wyatt is not something that you can ignore and after a while it’s not something that you would want to ignore. The storyline flows beautifully, the characters are some believable, there is everything that you need in a book to keep your interest that you won’t want to put this book down.
