description: Ace Sharp and Layne Elliott are from completely different walks of life. Ace is a single dad, doing his best to raise his daughter in his small hometown. Layne is a career professional, dreaming of the baby she can’t have. Their hearts are guarded but for different reasons. Wounded pride rules their decisions and keeps others at a distance. Devastating betrayal haunts their thoughts, making them question if love even exists. Broken souls who refuse to give their hearts away again. But a chance meeting changes everything. Complete opposites intent not to yield, determined not to feel, but incapable of stopping their destiny. Then the past resurfaces with the intent to ruin everything. Is learning to love again worth the risk? After all, a life without love isn't a life worth living.
