Life is finally starting to turn out just as Maura McCormick has always expected. She should be overcome with joy (and relief) given the highly anticipated marriage proposal from her handsome (but more importantly, devoutly Catholic) boyfriend, Ethan. Instead, Maura is met with an inability to quiet growing apprehension. When the unexpected has always led to pain and disappointment, is it crazy to think that the unexpected is what her heart truly wants? Caring about anything besides himself was the last habit Thomas O'Hollaren ever thought he'd pick up after returning home to Seattle. But his unlikely friendship with Maura McCormick seems to have put a pause on Thomas' lifelong track record of selfishness. Is this newfound goodness genuine or is it just a ploy to take advantage of another woman?
