She's a widow newly escaped from a brutish husband.

He is fully devoted and aims to be the partner she both needs and deserves. However, they find themselves at a stalemate, with neither willing to budge.

Laurie Dixon, a lovely young widow with three rambunctious sons, is finally independent. She's managing her own business to provide for her family, and she doesn't need Matthew Whittaker to take care of her. While she suspects she's falling in love with Matthew, past scars linger, and the fear of being controlled by another man is paralyzing.

Matthew is at his wits end. He's spent the past year trying to convince Laurie that marriage isn't destined to be a sentence of misery and pain, yet she remains unmoved. To complicate matters, his brothers, Morgan and Mead, are overly eager for him to push Laurie into a commitment while they conceal secrets they refuse to disclose.

He's ready to punch both of his brothers out and take Laurie over his knee if that's what it takes to get to the bottom of both situations. A man can only take so much!
