Sarah Grant is holding it all together after the accidental death of her husband, the same accident that left her with a disabled child. She's doing a pretty good job of it, too, until her son gets a new therapist. While Mr. Miller is full of unrealistic—and possibly dangerous—ideas, he's also incredibly attractive. Driven by guilt, she'll never let anything bad happen to Sidney again. Unfortunately, the more she's forced to deal with Mr. Miller, the more she remembers she's more than just someone's mom. It's hard to focus on getting the man fired when she's set aflame whenever he's around.

Zachary Miller didn't expect his forced retirement from the military to be easy but dealing with Sidney's mom was more than he'd bargained for. He'd faced down the enemy in combat and survived, but this woman could oppose anyone and win with her cool, no-nonsense gaze. She's a force to be reckoned with even while she makes him want to forget the scars that define him. He'd bet good money that under her ice queen façade burns a fire ready to illuminate the dark future that terrifies him and keep his demons at bay. Maybe Sarah Grant and her son are exactly what he needs to pull himself into the light.

Can Sarah and Zach leave their broken pasts behind and find healing in each other?
