Recklessly doing the right thing got Aden into big trouble. A fresh start at his grandparents’ is just what he needs. And shy, pretty Lily is turning his world upside down and making him want to prove he can do good within the rules. But now both must find enough faith and understanding to risk pursuing their dreams—together . . . “There is plenty of humor in this series as well as delicious romance, conflict, and character growth . . .

There is a goodness and innocence about them, but that is not to say they are all perfect or that there is no conflict in the plot.”—Romance Reviews Today
