Aaron's Awakening

Aaron isn't looking for love, but it finds him - and it has a few surprises in store...

A laidback man who goes with the flow

Aaron is happy for his friends who've found love, but he's starting to feel as if he's an endangered species - a single guy. Not that he's looking for anyone. But if someone were to turn up, he figures they would be female, younger than his twenty-seven years, and as disinterested as he was in searching for a soul mate.

He's about to get it wrong on most counts.

Working in the Acadia National Park, he meets all kinds of people, like that painter he met the other day. A quiet guy, but he certainly made an impression. Because for some reason, Aaron can't get him out of his mind.

A bruised soul seeking inspiration

Dean has picked up his paintbrush again. A famous artist who's spent the last couple of years producing book illustrations under a different name, he's come back to Maine seeking inspiration - and leaving the past behind him. The glorious natural beauty breathes new life into him, and it brings with it a new friend, a handsome ranger, the only person Dean has felt a connection to in a long time.

But when that connection unexpectedly becomes physical and Dean's emotions get entangled, he fears history is about to repeat itself.

He's not about to let his heart be broken a second time.
