'Ex-pole dancer Ava Bennett is ready for a tree change, even though the idea of moving to Lawson Grady’s home town freaks her out. Aside from dancing, Ava is a skilled cabinetmaker and intends to build her own home. But when does life ever run smoothly? Despite an infuriating face-off with a sub-contractor, Ava is determined to rise to the challenge. The biggest obstacle Ava needs to overcome is her private fear — one she’s reluctant to admit to herself, let alone share.

'Ex-soldier, Lawson, who has a few secrets of his own, is a gentle, kind-hearted guy who’s always ready to listen. Helping people and animals is in his blood. Nevertheless, his type of work can be hazardous, especially when someone chooses the wrong side of the law. And then a young man’s actions trigger his suspicions.

'Lawson’s instinct tells him Ava is hiding something. But his efforts to help her come clean are in vain — until there’s no avoiding it.'

'From the outside, Adele Valentin knows she looks strong, capable, unflappable. But when she loses everything, she can only think of one thing to do: run. A friend's house in the small rural town of Tumble Creek is a ready–made sanctuary, and Adele flees the big city without ever looking back.

'The timing has never been right for Takumi Edwards to express his feelings for Adele, the beautiful, mysterious woman who visits occasionally but haunts his dreams nightly. But now she's here to stay – at least for a while – and he will never have a better chance.

'But Adele is struggling with both past decisions and how vulnerable Takumi makes her feel. When her past follows her to Tumble Creek, Takumi is the only one who can help resolve both what came before and what could be ahead. If Adele is only strong enough to ask.'
