After years of hiding from her past, single mom Lauren Woodman had finally returned to her Vermont hometown with her young son in tow.
Reconnecting with her family and friends was Lauren's goal, until a snowstorm brought a mysterious stranger to town - and into her life.
Wes Evans was struggling to find the path to God's love and forgiveness, after his work as a missionary in the Middle East made him question his calling. But his search for redemption threatened to hurt the one person who could heal his heart and soul.
"Annie, I have something I want to ask you."
She looked up, surprised by Alex's serious tone. "Sure. What is it?" "My grandmother needs someone to live with her when she comes home, until she recovers." She thought about that for a moment, then slowly shook her head. "I'm sorry, Alex. I'd love to stay with Irene, but I have a business to run and a daughter to support."
His eyebrows rose. "A daughter?" Her stomach clenched. She thought he knew about Emma. But how would he? She was just a former employee who got on the wrong track and found herself in a whole lot of trouble. Slipping her hands in her jacket pockets, she pushed those painful thoughts away.
It didn't matter now. She'd made her choices and she had to live with them. She looked up and met his curious gaze. "Yes, I have a five-year-old daughter, Emma." There was so much more to the story, but she wasn't sure if he wanted to hear it-or if she had the courage to tell him.
