We met Kim Wilson in Trail of the Heart. She's Jordan's best friend, whose husband turned out to be lower than the rock bottom she has found herself struggling to escape. Kim recognizes how lucky she was to have had friends willing to hand over the keys to their house so she could start a small B&B to make ends meet. As a result, she built an excellent reputation in two short years while sinking into deep despair. Kim holds her secrets close but not close enough because people are noticing. Co-workers and strangers witness the late nights, the heavy bags under her eyes, and the lengths she'll go to for order at all costs. When Jordan and Adam return home from their adventures, Kim and her young son, Liam, need to stand on their own. Kim knows she's up for it if only she can find a job that fits her single-parent lifestyle and gives up the promise of an entire night's sleep for good. Go figure - the only person hiring is the handsome man who caught her sleeping on the job. Dom Harris runs an adventure outings business, Confidence Quest, and pines from afar for Kim to keep his presence unknown for professional reasons. Adam asked him to watch the house and its residents while he and Jordan were away, and as a man of integrity, Dom never mixes business with pleasure. So after agreeing to the terms of the contract, Dom never imagined he'd be reduced to a love-struck teen with one glance at the harried mom. But, when he finds her little boy playing alone on the lakeshore, the fixer in him knows it's time to step in. Kim is reticent to share her life and give up control. Her hard stance "no" to Dom morphs as her compulsions deepen until she's throwing herself at him like a lost girl looking for her daddy. With Jordan and Dom working to keep Kim safe, they find Liam is the one most in danger. Will their stability offset the chaos of Kim's ghosts before it's too late?
