When Elizabeth Hudson and Trent Wagoner met on a Christmas tree lot in Florida, sparks flew, igniting a fire they both thought would burn for a long time.
The problem with fires is that sometimes people get hurt. In this case, both Elizabeth and Trent end up burnt when an impulsive decision results in long-term repercussions.
Trent, still dealing with the aftermath of a painful situation that impacted two families in his hometown of Burton, struggles with the feelings he has for Elizabeth. He's not sure that committing to her is a good idea when everything he touches seems to end badly.
Elizabeth took a risk when she moved to Burton for Trent. Now she's stuck in a job she's not sure she likes, living with people she doesn't know, in love with a man who may not be capable of the forever she craves.
When it seems as if hope has died . . . there's always love.
