He’s the steadiest man in Cobbler Cove. She’s the storm about to tear the town wide open.
Dr. Hank Steele has finally built the calm, stable home his daughter deserves. After years on the rodeo circuit and a brutal custody fight, the oldest Steele brother has his thirteen-year-old back, his small-town medical practice is growing, and his big Edwardian house finally feels like home.
Then Sunny Perry blows into town.
Susannah “Sunny” Perry comes to Cobbler Cove with three small children, an empty bank account, and a grievance three years in the making. She’s not looking for love. She certainly isn’t looking for a quiet, soft-spoken doctor with steady hands and a heart as big as his porch. But her ten-year-old has already claimed Hank’s daughter as a big sister, and her twin boys have laid claim to his stethoscope. And Sunny’s starting to wonder if the family she’s been aching for has been waiting in Cobbler Cove all along.
When the person who set the Shoemacher fire finally confesses, the explosive truth tears Cobbler Cove apart. Old rivalries, hurts, and secrets spill into the streets. The Worn-out Widows Sisterhood is shattered. Sunny’s terrified that the last decent place on Earth just fell apart. And Madison Steele is watching the only stable home she’s ever known come apart at the seams.
It’s going to take every ounce of Hank Steele’s legendary calm to hold them all together. If he can keep his feet under him, and if Sunny can trust one good man with the last piece of her heart, the family they’ve each given up on building may finally be theirs to keep.
