Allie Stephenson is starting over. After years of trying to make her marriage work, she's single and settling down in the suburbs with her son, M. J. Unfortunately for her, other forces have decided that it is just the right time for a man to slip into her life, home, and heart. When Jake Donally moves into the neighborhood, the ladies all take notice. So far, he's kept a low profile. However, that all changes when Allie breaks his Bonsai, and the wall he built around his heart, come tumbling down. Unfortunately, Jake is not all that he seems, and he's been looking for a chance to get to know Allie much better.
