Summertime in Alixandria is made up of blue skies, sunny weather and easy days. Assistant Librarian Claire Millar, however, is busy balancing her job and classes to complete her Master's degree all while settling back into her rural hometown, with her hedgehog, Bruce. Due to a childhood illness and overprotective parents, she's played it safe her whole life. After a broken engagement, she's forced to create a new timeline, but one that's all her own.
Around Alixandria, firefighter Brodie Kelly has a reputation for working hard but playing even harder. With a challenging past filled with more responsibility than he should have, Brodie just wants to have fun. He's not ready for a white picket fence life and is only interested in caring for himself and his dog, Ed.
One day, while jogging in the park, Brodie's dog runs away and leaps into Claire's lap.
After a summer filled with laughter and love Claire and Brodie must face some hard truths. Is this more than just a fling or will their pasts be too much to overcome?
