After globetrotting the world as a high-profile television journalist, Matt Caldwell is ready for a rest. Tragic events have left him shell-shocked, and his boss has ordered him on a six-month leave. He's looking forward to working at the "Caldwell Cove Gazette," the small-town newspaper he co-owns. But his hopes of a peaceful sabbatical quickly dissolve when he meets his beautiful partner and her four feisty children.

After traveling her whole life with her Army father, Sarah Reed wants to put down roots and raise her family in Caldwell Cove. Her husband's death left her struggling to keep her newspaper business running while doing her best as a single parent. But Sarah senses her dreams may come crashing down when her silent business partner returns to Caldwell Cove and insists on helping her publish the "Gazette."

Matt wants only to endure his six-month forced sabbatical and get back to reporting. He doesn't want entanglements or relationships. And Sarah doesn't want a partner whose smile makes her heart pound triple-time. Can a confirmed bachelor drop his guard long enough for a single mother and her children to turn his world upside down?
