About this book

Entrepreneur Vance Banning moves to rural Maryland to escape business pressures and women interested in his wealth. To the community, he appears as a moody, out-of-work carpenter with a difficult demeanor. His next-door neighbor Shane Abbott, however, sees him simply as a man who could benefit from kindness. Vance initially suspects Shane's intense interest in him is motivated by ulterior motives. As he comes to recognize that her compassion is genuine and joyful, his doubts fade and his heart opens to the possibility of true love.
