She has had to be both mother and father to Jaxson in his nearly 7 years of life and it hasn’t been easy. Jaxson’s biological father abandoned her when he found out she was pregnant and has never had anything to do with them since. And that was just fine with Grace. She didn’t need a man to take care of her or her son. But it didn’t mean that she didn’t crave someone to want to take care of her and Jaxson.

Her best friends are four of the most beautiful red heads in Mercy Springs and working for them every day was icing on there friendship cupcake. Grace has seen plenty of trauma in her life. From being physically and emotionally abused as a child at the hands of her father and brothers, to being kidnapped by a serial rapist at her best friend Kresley’s wedding, Grace has had to learn how to deal with emotional baggage.

The fear of almost losing her at the hands of a serial rapist and murderer propelled Boomer into making it his mission of winning over Grace and Jaxson, but Grace’s unresolved emotional trauma and dangerous job will be a gigantic hurdle for them both to overcome. Can they stay together and make it work, despite life’s obstacles?
