Sometimes the love you need is right in front of you.

Cathy McIntosh has lived her entire life in the small mountain town of Pine Meadows, Montana. A widow for the last eight years, she gave up on romance when her husband passed. Now that her sons are grown and living on their own, she’s content to live alone in her small bungalow with her chihuahua, Sparky. After all, she has many good friends to keep her company, especially Jerimiah Thorne.

Jerimiah became a widower twelve years ago when his kids were still young. He doesn’t know how he would have made it through the tough times without his neighbor, Cathy. Over the years, they’ve developed a strong friendship. He mows her lawn and shovels her snow, and in return, she frequently cooks him wonderful meals. He can’t imagine his life without her in it.

When a famous, handsome stranger moves into their neighborhood and takes an interest in Cathy, she wonders if it is possible to find romance again. Jerimiah can’t stand the newcomer and his attention to Cathy. Is he just being a protective friend, or is it something more? Does he have feelings for her that are more than friendship? Would an attempt at romance threaten the relationship they’ve built or give them a second chance at true happiness?
