The first book in a new heartwarming series from New York
Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Barbara Freethy,
about love, family, friendship, and romance.
Ex-Marine Gabe Ryder has lost a lot in his life. His mother
died when he was a toddler. His father succumbed to
alcoholism. And a week before their last day of service, a
horrific firefight takes the life of his best friend and
brother-in-arms, Rob Hayden. Now Gabe must fulfill his
friend’s dying wish by helping Rob’s twin sister, Alicia.
Alicia has been reeling since her brother’s death.
She’s lost a part of herself that she isn’t sure she can get
back. On top of that, her eight-year-old son is longing for
a father, who she thinks she’s found in her boyfriend Keith.
Then Gabe shows up, moving into Rob’s house, helping with
the family rafting business, and looking into her love life,
and Alicia is resentful.
But when Alicia’s son and his best friend run away,
Alicia and Gabe realize they must face their deepest fears
and work together to bring them back, before the river
rises.
