Aidan Mitchell has just taken a coaching job at the high
school in

professional quarterback
after an injury. The first person he meets at Dogwood
Hill is Elizabeth
March, also fairly new to town, who owns Pet Style shop on
Main Street.
An avid pet lover, Liz has a history of taking in strays
until finding good
homes elsewhere. Liz gathered Aidan had things he wasn't
revealing in
his story but understood his reluctance as she certainly
carried plenty
demons of her own. Aidan also makes Liz's toes curl!
The beautiful town overlooking Chesapeake Bay was
built by three of
the O'Brien decedents, Mick, Jeff and Thomas. The latter
brother who
Aidan believes is his biological father; hence the reason
for accepting the
coaching position. Raised solely by his mother, Anna, he
was only told
his father was a good man but not ready for fatherhood or
to settle down
as he had high expectations of life and kept her pregnancy
a secret.
When Anna passed, Aidan found his birth certificate
revealing Thomas's
name as his father. While trying to decide if he wanted
to reveal this
information, Aiden becomes very involved with Liz and
learns of her non-
trusting issues left from her previous marriage and ex's
death. Astounded
by the close-knit and loving O'Brien family, Aidan needs
to work through
his plans concerning his new family while convincing Liz
his feelings and
trustworthiness are genuine still unable to reveal the
secret she knows he
is hiding.

with penchants
