Rosalinda Ingalls has spent the last few years building a flower business from the ground up and raising her special needs daughter in the small town of Seaside Bay, Oregon. Along the way she has become part of a family of friends who would do anything for each other. Except, Rose has a part of her past that she refuses to share, determined to protect those she loves, including the town’s police chief. Her feelings for him are stronger than she’s ever experienced before, but to let him in means to risk his life and Rose won’t let herself even entertain the thought. She has enough regrets in her past and she won’t add Ken Wamsley to the list.

Captain Ken has kept his distance from the beautiful Rose, acting as her friend for years, though he’s always longed for more. When a threatening text starts of a chain of events that causes her past and present to clash, Ken knows he can no longer stand on the sidelines and watch. Seizing the opportunity, he grows even closer to Rose and her daughter Lily, hoping that when the danger is over, their relationship will become much more permanent.

Can Rose open up enough to let Ken protect her and her daughter? Or will the impending threat cause Rose to grab Lily and run, leaving a trail of broken hearts in her tracks?
