Deke Doucette had been alone a long time. Already in his early fifties he helped raise his brother's children and formed a paternal bond with his niece. He was happy, satisfied with his life just as it was. And then he met an Angel. Angel Baptiste has her friends, her family, and her studies as a nurse to keep her busy. She was fine, just fine. And then one kiss from Deputy Sheriff Deke Doucette literally rocked her world. Before she had a chance to get used to the idea of a man in her life, in her heart, he went and got himself hurt. Will Deke learn to accept a partner in his life? Will Angel be able to help him recover in both body and soul? Will Deke's enemies leave the couple alone long enough to come together?
