Sage McKenna is the town Handyman in Willoree. We learn about her story and her daughter Joy who has Down syndrome. Through a house leasing and selling mishap we meet a business man Adam Hracek. He leased a house from an older woman whom was also selling the house to Sage at the same time. He is in town to help a local plant owner to update a more ecofriendly packaging in his plant. He plans to only be there a year and this is mentioned several times throughout the book. We do learn his story as well. Of course throw in some instant attraction and you get this whirlwind of a story. This was a cute quick read. I liked reading about Joy she was so sweet and loving. Sage was a very fierce protector and I really liked that. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review.

Tender, romantic and inspiring, this gentle contemporary romance touched my heart and made me believe in love and second chances. Sage's accidental meeting with Adam set the tone for their relationship. Adam is a rolling stone that gathers no moss, but he is nevertheless a generous and caring man. When he understands that Sage has to get to her appointment but has no means to do so, he offers her his help, only to discover that they are both involved in the same property but with a different purpose. Their relationship grows out of mutual attraction, but Adam has no intention of settling down or becoming involved with any woman on a permanent basis. Slowly but surely, Sage's family of the heart draws him in and their total acceptance gives him a new purpose for living. However, it does take time for his head to catch up with his heart and realise that it is possible for him to have it all. Sage takes what she can from the relationship with Adam, even though her heart is breaking. When the past comes to back to haunt her, to hurt her all over again, she finds in Adam a champion and one that is willing to go the extra mile to keep her and her precious daughter safe. This book is beautifully written and brings to light that those closest to us can, in fact, be closer than blood relatives and give one's life meaning and purpose.
