Anne Morden, a lawyer from Philadelphia, wants to adopt a foster child, Emilie. However, the only thing standing in her way is finding the child's father and convincing him to give up his parental rights. Knowing that Emilie's mother, Tina, spoke of a small town called Bedford Creek, Anne heads there and runs into police chief Mitch Donovan, whom she believes to be Emilie's father.

This is a pretty standard romance, but I liked how the author set up the characters to meet. It's not love at first sight. Both have trust issues stemming from their respective dysfunctional home lives. Because the novel is part of a miniseries (Hometown Heroes), Dr. Brett Elliot and Rebecca Forrester have cameos (their story is told in "The Doctor Next Door").
