Life was always a struggle for Lanie. Widowed at a young age and left to raise a baby by herself, she was abandoned by her family when she needed them the most.
She worked two full time jobs to make ends meet. But she had her son. For her, that was enough. Then, as her fragile world began to crumble around her, a stranger swept in with the promise of a better life.
Marcel knew all about true love. His family was full of stories of how magical the bond could be and how unexpectedly it could appear in one's life, so when he met the young waitress on his way back home, he recognized their connection instantly. Seeing her struggle, he opened his home and heart to Lanie and her son.
But can she learn to trust in a future of hope and love, when the past has been so bleak? Can he persuade her to take the leap and build a future with him? And if he can, with outside forces threatening to tear apart their burgeoning family, will their gamble be enough?
