Brad has just one wish this Christmas: to find a real home. Having lost his parents before joining the Marines, he misses that sense of belonging and family.
After a messy divorce, Shelly has decided the only person allowed within the brittle walls of her broken heart is her daughter. Until she meets a friendly man who hails from her hometown while working a routine flight. When she learns he needs a place to stay, she offers the apartment over her garage out of the kindness of her heart – and her desperate need for extra cash.
Brad’s willingness to walk the fine line between what Shelly’s heart wants and what her head allows slowly wears down her resolve. But when Brad receives a job offer near the only family he has left, Shelly must decide whether she’s willing to risk her heart again before he leaves her home, and her life, for good.
