Alaina Tillman fell in love with Zack Davidson when she was nine years old. Only, things didn't turn out the way she planned. And now, when she needs a refuge--a place to regroup--the abandoned mother-to-be heads straight for Lake Harmony.

Zack can't believe Alaina's here at Heron Cove, the cottage where they spent their teenage summers. Then he was her protector and best friend. But he wants more. He's always wanted more. Is he just setting himself up for heartbreak again?

Living under the same roof is rekindling Alaina's feelings for her former crush. Once, Zack was her fiercest defender. Is he also the family man she's been searching for?
