Former marine Tom Cavanaugh's come home to Virgin River, ready to take over his family's apple orchard and settle down. He knows just what the perfect woman will be like: sweet, decent, maybe a little naive. Nothing like Nora Crane. So why can't he keep his eyes off the striking single mother? Nora will do whatever it takes to support her family, including helping with the harvest at the Cavanaugh's orchard. She's always kept a single-minded focus on staying afloat ... but suddenly her thoughts keep drifting back to opinionated Tom Cavanaugh. Both Nora and Tom have their own ideas of what family means. But they're about to prove each other wrong.-- Provided by publisher.
