Until little October tips the boat over and finds herself sent to live in Pecan Valley with her cousin Arizona for reasons that leave the rest of the town in confusion. Desperate for a way to support herself once she arrives to the eerily familiar town, October meets with the owner of the town's most popular eatery and feels her world shift once again.
Sterling Young used to be the bad boy of Pecan Valley, until the death of his parents at age eighteen leaves him the sole guardian of a rambunctious five year old and a third generation family restaurant. Now, nearly eleven years later he's running two thriving business, maneuvering around a moody teenager and dodging the women his best friend's mother sends his way -- after all he's got too much on his plate to be trying to date. One meeting with the town's newest resident has him changing his mind, even if she does come with a surprise or two up her sleeve.
