When Matt Landry sees a woman with two little girls and a broken down car, of course he stops to help. When he finds out she needs a job and a place to stay, he hires her because he knows his mother will take her under her wing. What he doesn't expect is to start falling for her himself.

Reeling from her divorce and the death of her mother, Jubilee Jones is trying to hold herself together and make a life for her girls. With no other options, she seeks refuge and a fresh start in the nostalgic embrace of Strawberry Sands.

When her car breaks down, it feels like she's hit rock bottom, but the boy who'd been her crush that one beautiful summer doesn't just rescue her, he offers her a job on his beachside ranch. She has no other options, so she gratefully accepts, never intending to be more than friends with him.

Idyllic lakeside horseback rides, shared summer days, and the warmth of Matt's welcoming family gradually erode the walls around her heart. Can love blossom amidst the sun-kissed shores of Strawberry Sands?
