So he tells her that he will co-sign a loan so that she can fulfill her dream of opening a yarn shop in memory of her mother.

He also wants revenge on the one who put him in prison on a bogus charge. When he arrives, a friend co-signs a loan for him to open up a motorcycle shop. The only problem is it is the same place where Flynn was going to open the yarn shop. When Jesse learns that Flynn was going to open a yarn shop there, he offers to rent out a section of it to her and she agrees.

She has spent most of her life trying to make people happy and wonders when it will be her own turn. Both leads are complex with past secrets. Jesse has been in prison.

Its twists and turns will keep readers captivated for a lazy afternoon of enjoyable reading.
