This novel was so heartwarming Zoe Watson has moved to Harvest Cove to open an art studio featuring local artists. She is a stubborn, head-strong woman. Jason Evans -a park ranger with a prickly attitude has moved back to Harvest Cove to escape his past (recently divorced and feeling like he does not measure up) and his over-bearing mother. His mother is always comparing him to his younger brother who could do no wrong. Jason becomes a regular visitor – buyer at Zoe's studio and has a habit of ruffling her feathers – he tracks in dirt so she buys a mat/carpet just for him so he will wipe the dirt on the carpet but Jason being Jason avoids the mat and still makes a mess of her studio floor. They have become friendly with each other and then one day Jason is hurt on the job and needs some help getting around his home. His mother gets wind of his accident and tells Jason she is on her way to take care of him. Jason does not want his mother visiting nor does he want her help so he comes up with a plan that if his mother sees he has a girlfriend who is taking care of him she will return home after a day or two. So he hopes to accomplish this by having Zoe be his fake girlfriend and this is when the fun begins. Loved this book wish it had a bit more covering Jason and Zoe life after they acknowledged their attraction for each other.
