There’s a new woman in town, and she needs help. He sees it every time he passes her on the street…
Mac Oakton knows that Tressa Danell, the new woman in town, needs help. He sees it each time he passes her on the street, or nods at her in the general store, or sees her at church.
Her husband just died, and she has a son, and Mac knows what it’s like to grow up without a father. He wouldn’t wish that on anyone. So when Mac sees Colin getting bullied one day, he doesn’t have much choice about putting a stop to it. But that leads to Mac walking Colin home—and having a conversation with Tressa.
And oh, those eyes. She’s so haunted. Her late husband wasn’t a good man—and the whole town knows it. Mac just wants to help her start over again.
But Mac has dreams of his own, ones that mean he’s leaving town in a month so he can start new somewhere else.
But maybe he can do this one last thing before he goes. Maybe he can give this haunted woman and her boy a place to call home.
As long as he doesn’t lose his heart in the process.
