Desperate times call for desperate measures. At her core, merchandising maven Sophia Anton is an old-fashioned girl. To start a family by age 30, she'll do what's needed to make sparks fly with an old friend-including a crash diet. But when Sophia meets Jackson Thomas, the handsome new minister in town, she quickly finds she's playing with fire. Sophia's new look is working like a charm to snag the man of her dreams, so why is it Jackson's face she sees when she closes her eyes? Jackson, whose troubled past has led him to adopt a life of celibacy, never expects to feel hot under the collar for a woman of his own parish. How can Jackson dream of a future with Sophia after he's shut the door on love?

Ever the black sheep of her adoptive family, Lee Cooper has finally buckled down to a responsible job as a social worker in Southwest Florida. Defending her client against charges of child abuse awakens buried memories of her own abandonment in a Korean orphanage. Can she remain objective for the sake of a child? Bricker Kilbourn, the court-appointed guardian, doubts Lee's judgments--and his opinion might determine the little boy's fate. He's got his own family issues and haunting secrets to keep. Falling for a woman is not part of his plan. He's running from his past. She's searching for answers. Will their resolution to protect a child bind them together or wrench them apart?
