A love story unlike any other.

Rosalie’s widower, Aaron Keller, has adjusted to single fatherhood and yearns to give his only son a sibling, but finding the right mix of intelligence, maturity, and appeal in a woman who’d be a nurturing mother to his three-year-old with Down syndrome is bound to be impossible. The thought of his son growing up alone haunts Aaron daily—until the long-lost crush from his youth, Katrina Lopez, shows up on his doorstep.

Thirty-five-year-old Dr. Lopez, an associate professor of psychology, lives an independent and predictable life complete with her own farmhouse and a German Shepherd to keep her safe. All is well—except for her recurring intimate dreams about her childhood crush, Aaron Keller, the boy she swore she’d marry and the man she turned down fifteen years ago. When Katrina pays Aaron a surprise visit in hopes of sating her unexplored attraction, passion sweeps her toward a life-changing realization—something led her to his son, Isaac.

Falling in love too soon stirs emotional ghosts. Katrina, who’s coped with post-traumatic stress disorder since childhood, doesn’t trust Aaron’s motives. And her liberated sexuality, which captivates Aaron, awakens the dark obsessive-compulsive disorder he battled in the aftermath of Rosalie’s death. Failure to conquer the darkness within will destroy their lifelong dream of being together. And losing each other again, especially when Isaac needs them both, isn’t in their plans.
