After growing up in foster care, nurse Kayla Doherty's finally found a faith to rely on and a job she loves. But that's all put to the test when she's called to care for surly Marc DeHollander's dying father. Marc's struggling to keep his cattle farm afloat while dealing with his father's illness. He doesn't have time to fall for the beautiful hospice nurse. But as the frigid New York winter turns to spring, can he find a place for Kayla—and the Lord—in his heart?

Running a sheep farm alone isn’t easy, but North Country shepherd Sarah Slocum is determined to be successful. She’s fought drought and disease, and she’s turning out bountiful crops of lambs several times a year. Like many start-up farmers, Sarah is working a side job, too, and managing—barely. But when a family crisis hits, Sarah takes in her two nieces and a nephew, kids who’ve never been subjected to the rigors, sights, sounds and smells of farm life. And when the to-die-for handsome local veterinarian moves in across the street, the veterinarian who has an aversion to sheep and a grudge against Slocums, Sarah’s pretty sure things couldn’t get worse. Until they do. Dr. Craig Macklin is blindsided when he realizes he’s building his long-awaited house across the road from Sarah Slocum’s sheep farm. It’s his fault for falling in love with the generous slope and not back-checking the neighbors before he cut a deal, but as Craig gets to know Sarah, he’s drawn to her. She’s nothing like the women he’s dated. She’s nothing like any woman he’s known, and the urge to protect her and care for her only grows when a mid-summer storm threatens her life. But Sarah’s life hasn’t been easy, and while forgiveness is a Christian mandate, the concept has tested her patience lately. Can she move beyond the cruelties of her past to embrace the future God’s laid out for her? A future with Craig?

Single mom Rita Slocum wants to get her life back on track. Taking things one day at a time seems doable—especially with Brooks Harriman at her side. Brooks has been there for her through good times and bad. But she's always been leery of getting too close to the broad-shouldered woodworker who keeps his past locked away. Now that Rita's opening her own bakery, she needs him more than ever. If only Brooks would open up his life—and his heart—to Rita.
