He's a cowboy with big dreams for his Deaf Academy, a heart full of passion, and a soft spot for the woman who's been by his side for eighteen months. She's the widowed Administrative Director, hiding a broken heart and terrified to let anyone in again. Can love blossom between them when work and heartbreak keep getting in the way? Mitchell Glover has poured everything he has into creating Signs of Success, an academy where Deaf individuals and their families can find the resources, education, and community they're longing for. It's his life's purpose, and so far, his trusted Administrative Director, Lacy Hayes, has been the key to helping him make that vision a reality. But ever since the moment she moved to Three Rivers, Mitch has felt something more for her. Something he's never had the courage to act on¿ Lacy Hayes left behind her entire life in San Antonio to escape the grief of losing her husband. Building the academy alongside Mitch has given her a new purpose, even if she hides from her loneliness every night in her apartment. But lately, she's starting to crack under the weight of keeping her feelings for Mitch bottled up.

It doesn't help that he's handsome, kind, charming, funny¿and always there when she needs him. When a family wedding has them stepping out as a couple, Mitch and Lacy find themselves closer than ever before. But while Mitch is ready to lay his heart on the line, Lacy fears she might lose everything-her job, her home, and the fragile remnants of her heart-if she lets him in. Both will have to relearn how to trust: in themselves, in each other, and in the God who brought them together. Will Mitch and Lacy's friendship bloom into a love that can weather anything? Or will their pasts keep them from building the future they both long for?.
