Former 1st Sergeant Adam Barkley knows the value of brotherhood and how hard it can be to go home after leaving the military. He's determined to adopt a community willing to welcome veterans with no other place to go. …He knows in his gut this is his new mission. As the proud new owner of a hardware store in the small town of Awesome, everything was going as planned until the remodel contract he’d signed with kindhearted Grandma Rose develops a speed bump. Now, he's dealing with her very attractive granddaughter Brie Dresser. Worse? She's a procrastinator, a thinker, and a flighty travel blogger with no intention of staying in town. But when Adam looks at her, he sees glimpses of what she’s trying to hide – pain, secrets, a past – things he’s all too familiar with. …Adam is used to building things that last, but Brie's worried about forever.
