Serenity Springs own sweet Nina is sick and tired of doing what everyone expects of her. She's tired of being afraid of letting anyone down, she's tired of being afraid of her ex-husband, and well, she's just plain tired.

Dillon Ward, bad boy, ex-convict, went to jail for killing his stepfather for almost rapping and beating his sister. But now he's got the whole town of Serenity Springs believing his is as bad and evil as they all portray him to be.

When Kyle, a young rebellious, foster child wrecks into Nina's bakery the only person who can do the job is Dillon. But he only agrees if Kyle will work with him, take responsibility in what he has caused. Not only does Dillon fall for Kyle, but also he falls for Nina and her kids. But he's an ex-convict, Nina could do better and deserved much better.

Beth Andrews took a storyline and made it into a work of art. The chemistry between Dillon and Nina is strong from the get-go and they both try to fight it at first. But what happens when Dillon falls in love with Marcus and Haley, Nina's kids? Can Nina get over her fears and stand up to her ex-husband, her family, and the town of Serenity Springs? These are just a few of the questions you will get within the first few chapters and they will be answered in ways you wouldn't imagine. Andrews has taken what could be an average read and added conflict between the characters. I love the way she's woven in minor characters as well, the story was mainly focused on Dillon and Nina, but it also showed that they interacted with the townsfolk and family members who made them seem that much more real. Fantastic read.
