In this classic tale from the New York Times–bestselling author, revisit a hero with big dreams and the girl next door who’s always been there for him . . .
Doing the right thing always came easily to firefighter Zak Ashford. So he can’t refuse to take in the dying wife he thought divorced him long ago—or to watch over her three troubled children. The only person Zak can turn to is Jilly Fairmont, the pretty neighbor who helps him and the children through their loss. And not just because she secretly cares for Zak. Yet it isn’t long before Zak realizes what this honest, compassionate woman means to him, too. With big dreams at stake, Zak suddenly finds himself reconsidering the future he always thought he wanted. A future that will be nothing unless Jilly agrees to share it with him . . .
