Aster Allen is a true hero. But with that unwanted title comes a career change he didn't plan on and a lot more stress he doesn't need.

A job offer from his old Army Commander ends up being his savior, forcing him to move to a small town where few know him or his background. And maybe he'd like to keep it that way.

Raine Scarsdale is sick of being labeled and judged by her career and upbringing. But living in the small tourist town of Mystic makes that almost impossible. She just wants to be who she is and finally has a chance when she meets a newcomer to the area.

The only problem, it seems too good to be true, just like her last serious relationship, when she starts to suspect Aster's not always forthcoming with his personal history.
