Jenna Reid purchased the Stonehill Cafe to prove her ex-husband wrong. Three years later, her building is crumbling, her savings are dwindling, and her pride is more bruised than a bad batch of apples.
Pride is something Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Maguire lost long ago and isn't likely to find living in the alley behind the cafe. While he takes a little time to get on his feet, keeping an eye on the overworked cafe owner gives him a sense of purpose. He has no intention of drawing attention to himself until he hears her scream.
He rushes in to help but rather than confronting danger, he finds Jenna drenched in the aftermath of a plumbing disaster. With her last bit of hope fading, Jenna accepts Daniel's help to fix up her building, but it doesn't take long for them to start trying to fix each other.
