Delilah Waterford had very few options. Staying in Philadelphia wasn't one of them if she hoped to find a way to provide for her brother and sisters. Staying with their aunt wouldn't be an option for much longer. She had to take charge. When she found the ad for Susannah Jessup's boarding house and matchmaker service, she felt like a prayer had been answered. Ethan Townsend returned to Rocky Ridge after school in New Orleans. A broken heart and hope for a place to start his veterinary business sent him home for a new start. Vowing that no woman would ever break his heart again, he wasn't prepared to feel anything for the quiet and sweet Delilah Waterford. But Delilah had kept her family secret from everyone she met in Colorado. She hoped to meet a man who would love her enough to bring her siblings to live with them when they married. Desperation had made her not think through the plan or how deceptive it might be. When her secret is revealed, her future and that of her siblings is shattered - along with Ethan's heart. Is there any way these two can find their way back to love and trust?
