博客來Calianna Grace doesn’t know how much longer she can tell herself that she doesn’t want more out of life. She works hard so she can stand on her own two feet, not wanting any charity from the close friends she has found over the years. She’s gotten used to working her many jobs and has become too comfortable in the stagnant relationship she developed during her time in Deadgrove. But it isn’t enough, and she knows sooner or later, something is going to go wrong if she doesn’t do something about it.
Holt Prescott is a con man on the run. After being discovered in a compromising situation by his boss, he is forced to flee the big city of New Lanta. Now not only is he on the run from the law but also the biggest mob boss New Lanta has ever seen. When his motorcycle breaks down in a dead-end town that doesn’t even have a stoplight, he knows he has officially hit rock bottom.
When Holt stumbles into the only restaurant in town, road weary and exhausted, he saves Cali from a nasty spill. Suddenly, the little town doesn’t seem quite so boring anymore, and Cali finds herself wishing that it was. She decides that the best course of action is to avoid the handsome, smooth talking stranger, and Holt decides that he only wants her. While trying to get enough money to replace the part he needs for his motorcycle, he does what he can to get a job working alongside Cali. However, the job she gets him at the church doesn’t quite turn out the way he expects. After spending more time together, Holt learns that Cali is more than a pretty face, and Cali realizes that Holt isn’t the man she first assumed he was. Between church services and getting ready for the harvest party, their feelings for each other slowly start to change. But when Holt’s past comes to call, will the two of them be strong enough to face it? Or will Holt’s past sins ruin their lives before they can even start?
