When Melanie moved her son to Last Chance, she was hoping for a fresh start in the small town, for a place they could finally settle down and start the life her son deserved. She quickly found herself renting a rundown, leaky old farmhouse, and walking two miles to a job she hated - and back again in the darkest hours of night. Worst of all, Matt was already fighting with other boys in town, and Melanie couldn't spend the time with him that she wanted to. Something had to change, before mother and son both reached their breaking points. Matt didn't want his mother to worry about him. He knew she was working hard to provide for him; she had, his whole life. He was fourteen, and old enough to recognize the desperation that had begun to eat away at her. He blamed himself, for being a burden; he blamed his father, for leaving; he blamed his mother, for giving up on her dreams. When Matt rushed to the defense of an animal being tormented by three local boys, he made a quick enemy of one of them, fifteen-year-old Granger Bates. He also developed an unlikely and easy friendship with the man who'd intervened to end the fight - the town's veterinarian, Cooper Bradshaw. Cooper saw the anger and pain and confusion churning inside of Matt, and he offered in return a calm and steady presence that quickly earned Matt's trust and respect. Matt suspected that Cooper might be just what Melanie needed to pull her out of her hopelessness. Cooper had known heartbreak and abandonment, and lived a busy but lonely life. He saw in Melanie and Matt the family that he'd always craved. As Matt's conflict with Granger intensified, enflamed by Matt's budding relationship with Granger's sister, Melanie saw her son growing more attached to Cooper. Seeing the vet become the father figure she'd always wanted for her son, Melanie knew that she was in real danger of losing her heart to the man who always seemed to be there when she, or her son, needed him. She tried to convince herself that he was too good to be true, but she couldn't deny the attraction between them. She would have to face her fears before they cost her everything, because with Matt's battle with Granger heading toward its dangerous conclusion, her son was going to need her, and Cooper, more than ever.
