Peter Samuels had lost his beloved wife to a tumor just one year earlier. His grief continues to overwhelm him, especially now that he's the sole caretaker of their children and he's alone once more in the world. Kimberly Wolfe has always loved her boss Peter, but she's loved him from afar. For years, she'd endured his wife's misguided attempts to fix her up. She'd envied Peter and Lydia's love for one another, and, most recently, she'd consoled him in his grief over the loss of his wife and her close friend. But, for as long as she can remember, her domineering father has used the Bible to justify his God-given place as head of the household, destroying Kimberly's mother and her own ability to trust men. An innocent kiss on New Year's leads to a growing awareness between Peter and Kimberly. Can he ever see her as more than an employee and a shoulder to lean on? Can he accept her as a Christian woman who's nowhere near content to live out her life without the love of a man and a family of her own?
