A former major league baseball player, bitter and angry, and a quiet single mom, tired and poor.

Single mom Peyton Sinclair came to the town of Sweet Water to raise her son away from the influence of her ex-husband's mother. She's happy with her bookstore and bake shop and is not interested in doing anything but making a living and raising her son.

Bryce Shaker had been baseball's highest paid athlete at one point in his career. But his career had gone downhill after a brutal accident left him scarred and bitter. He retired to the old, run-down mansion north of Sweet Water and just wants to be left along - after he gets the six thousand books in the old, crumbling library catalogued.

Sweet Water's matchmakers soon have Peyton at Bryce's mansion, working on his books, but she barely sees Bryce - until a ghost from his past forces him to ask for her help.

On the surface they have nothing in common, but could a friendship forged between this unlikely pair grow into something more?

Reviewers Say:

★★★★★ "It's so much fun watching the Piece Makers come up with ways to get the couples they plan to match together." - Nancy

★★★★★ "Jessie has written another winner. I highly recommend this book." - Christie

★★★★★ "I love this series by Jessie and I know you will too. She has woven in scripture and godly principles that we all can identify with and need to be reminded about." - Desiree

★★★★★ "I was thrilled that it was a beauty and the beast retelling - complete with library! But it really was convicting also with the heavy emphasis on pride. It's definitely something I need to do better at. And, I feel like that's a constant work and it's nice to read a book like this and have so much encouragement for it. I'm definitely excited for more in this series." - Michaela

★★★★★ "The characters are wonderfully flawed Christians tying hard to do right... The story played out beautifully!" - MaryEllen
