There's no such thing as having it all figured out.
Jack Barnes knows his mind. A recent Yale Law School graduate, he only needs to wait for his bar exam results before he can start making a difference as a constitutional lawyer. Ideally in Washington, D.C.
Jack knows his heart, too. He wants Stacey Callahan, his older sister's best friend.
When Julie asks him to return to western New York to help with her horses, Jack decides to accept a position in a local law practice. Temporarily.
Can he have it all?
Tenured high school English teacher Stacey Callahan believes she's content with the life she's built for herself--work, family, friends, her dog, church, and writing. She's learned that change offers no guarantees of a better tomorrow.
Or of a better man.
Then her grandfather announces that he has hired Jack to be his assistant-and possibly take over his small-town law practice. Someday. But Jack's the last man Stacey wants in her life because he's her best friend's younger brother and he's no longer a kid crushing on her.
To make matters worse, Stacey and Jack will be riding together several times a week.
Confused and frustrated over Jack's infringement upon her routine, Stacey resists relying on him. But when her world is turned upside by the sudden appearance of a total stranger at her doorstep, Jack' support is what holds her together.
How will Stacey protect her heart when Jack is using every opportunity to prove his case that God has always meant them for each other?
