Sorren has always been there for anyone else, but he refuses to let anyone be there for him. When his career as a Marine comes to an end due to an injury he returns to his hometown and is struggling to find his place within the family who accepted him as him own and where his life goes from here.
Rhea has had feelings for Sorren since he first came to Clementine Creek and now she is happy to just have him home. She wants to be the one he leans on to help him heal but that means showing him that all she needs is him and that they have always belonged together.
Rhea was exactly who Sorrel needs in his life as she challenges him at every turn. The love they share was undeniable and the chemistry intense as they take us on an emotional ride that not only allows us to see the relationship between them unfold but catch up with all the other characters we know and love from this series.
