The Hired Hand

A widow. A neighbour. A stranger.

Rachel never expected to face life without her husband. Now, with summer approaching and more work than she can manage alone, she needs a helping hand.

Rather than turn to her neighbours, she posts an ad on social media, hoping to find someone who can ease the workload.

Joe has adored Rachel since the day they met. He's been her neighbour and friend, but he's always hoped they might become something more. With Rachel adjusting to life as a widow, he wonders if he'll ever have the chance to tell her how he feels.

Then Chad arrives.

What begins as a simple arrangement for summer help soon becomes something neither Rachel nor Chad anticipated. There's an undeniable attraction between them, and Rachel finds herself experiencing feelings she never expected to have again.

Meanwhile, Joe watches the woman he's adored for years grow closer to another man.

As attraction deepens and tensions rise, Rachel discovers that moving forward isn't nearly as simple as she'd hoped.

Sometimes the heart takes a detour before finding where it belongs.
