The only things Kane cares about in this world are the bar he owns and the lives he's entrusted with that live there. Wounded veterans who have nowhere else to go. It's a responsibility he takes seriously. They are what drive and motivate him until he meets Eve, and soon his focus changes. His hard-earned control and rules are thrown out the window. He doesn't like it one bit even as he feels himself falling under her easy smile and is helpless to stop it.
Eve needs a break from work when she hits a mental brick wall and the once easy ability to draw designs is gone. She finds the hideaway town of Bellingham and it's enchanting townspeople. Almost immediately she feels her creative juices flowing again and is drawn to one place in particular. A converted barn turned bar and it's owner, Kane. He's mean and snarling, but behind the anger, she sees there's more to the eye. Kane is protective of his home and all who live there.
The longer Eve's here she's reluctant to leave. But she has a career and a life waiting for her. This was just a holiday to recharge. Will she chose love or her job?
