In the seaside town of Tarrin's Bay, two neighbors form a bond—but can they truly open the doors and let each other in? Distracting herself from a streak of bad luck and a disastrous love life, bubbly April Vedora throws herself into her new business—April's Glow, a candle store in Tarrin's Bay. The enchanting scents and colorful atmosphere provide a safe haven—but outside of business hours, she's still clueless about what the next step in her life should be. When a mysterious loner moves in next door, she can't help feeling intrigued, and ex-soldier Zac Masterson is equally fascinated by April. But both have sworn off relationships, and while April avoids her emotions by keeping busy and sociable, Zac hides away from the world—and his past . . . As the pair chip away at each other's facades and secrets are revealed, April fears that the man she's unwillingly falling for is everything she's worked so hard to avoid. Or could they each be just what the other needs?
