A sweet story of a ten year old named Annalise in elementary school and her mother, Eden Hardwood. There also happens to be a sexy, ex-military principal, Gabe Caldera who becomes friendly and interested in Eden as they keep bumping into each other wherever they go. But complications are evident when we find that Eden is harboring a big secret that threatens to ruin her love life. This story started out ordinary and turned into a big bang! I loved the two main characters and their sweet story. Thumbs up and four stars to this winner!
