Kate Donovan is burned out on work, worn down by her dating relationships, and in need of an adventure. When her grandmother asks Kate to accompany her to Pennsylvania to restore the grand old house she grew up in, she jumps at the chance.

Former hockey star Matt Jarreau has spent years hiding from people, from God, and from the heartbreak in his past. Confident that he's signing up for a straightforward construction job and nothing more, he agrees to help Kate and her grandmother renovate the house. Right away, however, he's submerged by complicated feelings as Kate sets her stubborn, persistent, optimistic heart on bringing him out of the dark and back into the light.
