Russell Hulston really knows how to screw up. Five years ago, he landed in prison after beating up the wrong guy in a bar fight. Recently paroled and on house arrest, he starts a new job at the local hospital cafeteria, searching for a fresh start. Sitting in his car in the summer sun, waiting for his first shift to start, Russ notices a single mom in distress. Despite her feisty son's best efforts, Russ intervenes and carriers the woman into the hospital, having no clue how much this one decision will alter his life.
Aster Reign desperately wants to start over. She finally left her emotionally abusive husband with her son in tow, and the last thing she needs is to end up in the hospital. But when the sarcastic, soft-spoken tattooed man from the cafeteria offers her safety and shelter for the summer, she jumps at the chance to find some stability for herself and her son.If anyone doesn't belong in a trailer park, it's Aster. Yet, somehow, she and her son seem to fit right in, building treehouses, learning to cook, and making friends. Russ starts thinking that maybe he can do something truly meaningful for once, that maybe he finally found where he belongs.
Can this trailer park be safe harbor that allows them to overcome the ghosts of their pasts?If you love found family, forced proximity, and watching two characters find their way to each other in spite of the utter blindness to what's right in front of them...this cozy romance is for you.
