Addie McHenry, restoration home builder extraordinaire, catches her big break when the House to Home network contracts her to film a reality TV show focusing on how she brings homes back to life. She sets her sights on one of the oldest houses on Moanna's beach and has to risk everything just to get it. Shane Armstrong moved from Savannah to his grandmother's Moanna oceanside house when his world shattered five months before. He went on leave from his job as a Coast Guard helicopter rescue swimmer, hopeful his grandmother's peaceful street will help him heal. The reality TV show's arrival threatens this serenity. But the construction and camera crews are nothing compared to Addie herself. She's tough as nails, challenging, and superbly bossy as she works to get her way. But she's also kind, hardworking, and has a relationship with God that Shane can't begin to understand. With each encounter, Shane's walls start to crumble as Addie brings more than just the historical home back to life, but him as well. Addie tries desperately not to enjoy spending time with the irritable and scowling boy from next door. He hides his heartache well, but she sees it there behind his prickly exterior. Soon she begins to uncover the sacrificial hero underneath the faade. With both of them only temporary residents on Moanna Island, their thin ice relationship crashes to a halt. Can Shane return to his risky job with the Coast Guard? Does he even want to? And can Addie let him go and follow her dreams even when tragedy strikes?
