They say forgiveness is good for the soul, but what happens when the path to forgiveness leads the monsters of the past to your front door?
Jewel
I came to southern Colorado to open a new restorative justice program.
I've found a community that I love, and I'm finally ready to put down some roots.
But no matter how hard I try, I can't leave the pain of the past behind.
I never expected the little boy who lives next door to find a place in my heart.
His sweet nature and bright smile show me that the world can be good again. His father is not quite as friendly, but he is drop-dead gorgeous, And I'm pretty sure he hates me.
Nate
I love three things in life. My son, my mom, and my job.
Being a firefighter leaves no room for anything else.
My ex-wife burned me badly, and there's no way I'll ever let myself or my son get hurt again.
When Jewel moves in next door, her smile reminds me of sunshine, and it's as sweet as honey.
I try to keep her at arm's length, but it's no use. Her commitment to my son, and dedication to my injured mother, bring me to my knees.
While Jewel and Nate fall deeper in love, the demons from their past circle closer. Will Nate's hero's heart be strong enough to overcome what threatens them, or have they been doomed from the beginning?
