Businessman Andrey Sergeyev’s organized life changes in ways he never planned when he becomes guardian of his orphaned nephew. He moves to small town Sweet Grove to care for grieving Ilya in the boy's familiar environment. Andrey’s fiancée breaks off the engagement because of Ilya's health challenges. Another romance is definitely not on Andrey’s agenda, no matter how much paramedic Melinda Macalister attracts him with her sweet smile, kindness, and neighborly support for Ilya… Melinda isn’t looking for love, either, especially after her last boyfriend left her because of her own health challenges. She'll just have to hide her crush on her new neighbor. He's going back to Houston soon anyway. But she can’t refuse to help him with Ilya, who needs her more than ever. Problem is, the more she gets to know Andrey, the more she realizes he might be the one for her. Will Andrey and Melinda choose to keep holding on to old hurts? Or will they find love in Sweet Grove, Texas?
