Wealthy corporate genius Jason Wilding reluctantly takes a break from his high-powered and stressful world to visit his hometown of Abernathy, Kentucky. As a favor to his brother David, he agrees to spend a week as a live-in babysitter for David’s new girlfriend. Courting the free-spirted Amy has been difficult with her adorable but demanding baby in tow, and Jason’s help is just what David needs.

Expecting to be bored and annoyed, Jason is shocked to discover that Amy’s joy for life, her love for her son, and her sparkling humor are irresistible and the reserved and enigmatic CEO finds himself warming to her charm. Their mutual attraction is glowing bright, but what to do about David?

This “bestseller by one of the all-time greats” (Midwest Book Review), celebrates the unexpected journey of the heart toward love, and the eternal bond between mother and child.
