Amy Dillon’s teenage crush on Zeke Parker never panned out. He went to the military with her older brother, but now Zeke is back. After years of struggling, Amy’s Bed & Breakfast is finally profitable. But now she has a bigger problem. A new boutique hotel may open in the small town of Worthy, Ohio and disrupt her plans to expand her business.

Zeke Parker is medically discharged for his military-related hearing deficit. When he returns to his hometown, he can’t bring himself to visit his childhood friend––and crush––Amy Dillon. When a fire forces him out of his apartment, he bunks with her little brother in the downstairs apartment of the carriage house where they all grew up.

Amy is happy to have Zeke back in her life, but something is amiss, and hearing issues are the least of Zeke’s worries. Will he ever be able to tell Amy the truth about her brother’s death?
