That problem comes in the shape of a rebellious sixteen-year-old daughter, Ruby, who has been skipping school - in company with her friend Dylan, who just happens to be the son of the widowed high school principal, Cam Hyde. Together, Cam and Sarah face not only the challenge of steering their children back on the right path but giving the feelings between them room to grow. A Mother for Mandy Amber Meadows can’t help feeling drawn to Blake, the introverted army vet who rides in the same weekend biker outings as she does. She senses something special in him and tries to draw him out. But… he has never mentioned his family, and he CERTAINLY never mentioned that he has a daughter! The problem is, little Mandy wants nothing to do with this taciturn man who says he’s her dad—she just wants to live with Amber!
