Brad Moreland has built his life around one his six-year-old son, Jackson.
After divorce left Brad as the parent who stayed, the mobile welder learned to structure his work around school pickups, bedtime routines, and keeping every promise he makes to his little boy.
So when Jackson begs for one unforgettable autumn weekend, Brad brings him to Cady Springs and the Harvest Festival at Stone Valley Ranch.
He expects pumpkins, hayrides, cider, and a ride on the little festival train. He does not expect Melissa Corringer.
The Cady Springs elementary art teacher spends her weekends turning paint and paper into extra income, sketching families and capturing moments people want to remember. Warm, curvy, and far too easy with Jackson, Melissa catches Brad’s attention almost immediately.
Then the festival train breaks down. Brad has the tools and the skills to get it moving again. Before long, welding sparks aren’t the only ones flying.
What begins as one perfect weekend turns into more reasons to return to Cady Springs. Jackson adores Melissa. Brad can’t stop thinking about her. And Melissa finds herself imagining something she never expected to want this badly … a place in the little family forming right in front of her.
But Brad has already watched one person walk away from his son. No matter how hard he falls, he won’t risk Jackson’s heart. Nor will he uproot the life he carefully built for something temporary.
Melissa never intended to ask him to. She just may give both Moreland men a reason to discover that sometimes the best families aren’t the ones you planned. They’re the ones you unexpectedly find.
He came to Cady Springs to give his son one perfect autumn weekend. He never expected them both to find something worth staying for.
