Stevie Foster thought her happy ever after would come easily after saying "I do" to her high school sweetheart at nineteen.

But twelve years later, she finds herself divorced, settling into a new home, in a new town, with a new job as an elementary teacher trying to pick up the pieces as she goes.

On top of struggling to cope with the future she always wanted versus the one she's been dealt, she soon realizes that her new neighbor is a strict, stone-faced man she's all too familiar with.

Lieutenant Colonel Fletcher Miller.

The man once in charge of her ex-husband's unit.

And as if the reminder across the street of what she lost wasn't painful enough, she also becomes his young son's teacher.

A single dad. A divorcee. A second chance at love neither knew they'd get.
