From her mother's kitchen window Sophie sees not cows, or horses, or sheep, but a group of immense Indian elephants playing gracefully in the snow. There is a man too -- the keeper of the elephants -- and with a faraway gesture, barely discernible in the last light of dusk, he beckons to her.

Finding the courage to be vulnerable again, Cade and Hope take steps toward a relationship, and Hope finally begins to feel at peace in her new home. But Hope's happiness is put to the test when Cade's past conflicts resurface, and Hope becomes embroiled in the escalating situation at the high school.

"Having worked for Southern Service Paws for a few years now, I like to think I'm prepared for just about…
any client meeting under the sun. I am dead wrong. The day I meet with single dad, Jacob Broaden, about potentially matching his daughter with one of our service dogs, I learn a few valuable lessons. 1) Always set my alarm clock. 2) Single dads are way hotter than I previously thought. 3) It is possible to go from fantasizing about kissing someone to wishing they would be run over by a truck in a matter of two minutes. Unfortunately, I don't hold that opinion of him for very long. Not when he shows me a different side of himself-one that's sweet as maple syrup and hot as apple pie fresh out of the oven. And after a few days of working closely with him and his daughter, he starts looking at me with fire in his eyes, making me dream of something I probably shouldn't... A family." -- Provided by publisherThe Guardian
