About This Book

Naomi Witt leaves her wedding behind and heads to Knockemout, Virginia, hoping to help her estranged twin sister, Tina. Instead, Tina disappears after taking Naomi's car and money, leaving Naomi with no home, no job, and an unexpected responsibility: caring for an eleven-year-old niece she never knew she had.

As Naomi tries to rebuild her life and understand the complicated family situation she has inherited, local barber Knox Morgan reluctantly steps in to help. Knox prefers a quiet, uncomplicated existence and has no intention of getting involved with romance or anyone else's problems, but Naomi's situation makes staying uninvolved increasingly difficult.
