Enter Noble Jabeaux, former soldier turned small-town carpenter, who offers friendship when she needs it most. What begins as kindness grows into something more, a connection that deepens into something neither expected or planned. When Mesa's young daughter is taken by her grieving grandmother, her fragile new life begins to unravel. With everything at stake, Mesa must rely on the man who's become her closest ally.
