After years of scraping by to finish art school, Emma Makie finally lands her dream job-only to have everything unravel overnight. When tragedy strikes, Emma must move to Colorado Springs to take temporary custody of her two young nieces.
Armed with little more than determination, Emma suddenly finds herself responsible for two children, a mountain of bills, and a life she never planned for. What she does not need is the help of her infuriatingly confident neighbor, Kevin Grantham-who seems convinced she's in over her head.
Emma is determined to prove him wrong.
But as Kevin continues to show up exactly when she needs him most, Emma begins to wonder if accepting help might not be the same thing as admitting defeat-and whether the one person she's trying hardest to keep at a distance might be the one she needs most.
