Ruby Strickland is a 26 year old single mom to 10-year-old Zayn. For the past decade she's lived in Houston, Texas with her Uncle Pat and his wife, Olivia Law. Being apart of the Law family, even by marriage, comes with an army of support which is what Ruby needed as a teenage mom. Her grandparents were semi-supportive about her pregnancy. Her mother? Not so much. That's a tumultuous relationship that needs a lot of mending. 

Five years ago she met the charming, alpha male, Colton Anderson, the oldest of the Anderson brothers. She was then 21 and he had 12 years on her being 33. They crossed paths as he  had volunteered to be the tee-ball  coach that Zayn had joined. They became cordial, even somewhat friends over the course of 3 years. Everything changed two years ago once her cousins, Lauren Law and Harper Smith fell for Colt's younger brothers, Andrew and Cody. That led to Ruby succumbing to her own feelings for Colton.

Colton is stern, and plays no games about his family; Ruby and Zayn being the center of that. They enter of new chapter of engagement, adoption, and bringing up the past. Get ready for the bumpy ride.

Life doesn't abide by the rules of a child. Sixteen-year-old Ramona knows this. She's seen it throughout her entire life, from the way she was treated by her birth parents to the way she was thrown around the foster system with nothing but her little brother, Mason, to hold onto. Every bruised cheek and broken bone has slowly shattered Ramona's trust in the system and any foster parent she's ever met. In the end, it's only Mason she can trust. Her life is dedicated to making his better, and focused solely on sheltering him from the pain of feeling as lonely as she is. That is, until Ramona gets news one day that may just uproot everything she's ever believed about her and Mason's situation. Everything is about change for Mason, all because of a man named Owen Parker. He wants to take the only thing that Ramona has ever truly loved. He wants to adopt her brother, and there is nothing she can do to stop him. Though after years of running and years of pain, Ramona knows just how badly Mason needs a home. It's a breath of fresh air for him, a family filled with love, and everything that Mason has never had. But then, what about Ramona?
