Having her best childhood friend move to the same small town she lived in, Carrie Dexter was ecstatic. It wasn't long before her own insecurities got the best of her, changing her, making her become unpleasant to the people who loved her the most; pushing her to the edge, perhaps to the point of abandoning her family. Moving to a new town to start fresh seemed to be just what the doctor ordered for Madeline Tucker. Giving up the years she spent with the same company to learn it from the ground up; when she realized she could go no farther. Moving to be near her best childhood friend and kick up her own business venture in the process. In her quest for security and stability, Madeline has no intentions of becoming romantically involved with anyone. Her spontaneity and sense of humor soon had Dustin Parker wondering if he should be making up some excuse not to work with her. The profit he would make on a sale to her; a building for her business and her home, could have him set for the year! But he knew she was dangerous ... Friendships are tested, hearts are broken. Will time heal enough for Madeline to continue to pursue her business in this town, or will it destroy her faith enough for her to throw in the towel?
