After a decade of hard work and dedication, Jayme Caldwell's dreams of a Seattle bakery are whisked out from under her. She's licking her wounds in Killeen, Texas, living with her memaw, Winnie, while contemplating her future. Of course, Memaw knows exactly the kind of future her granddaughter needs...and it starts with a handsome young man she tricks into having dinner with Jayme. She'd be upset...if the man wasn't something straight out of any red-blooded woman's fantasies.

Rocket Long never suspected the sweet little old lady he'd befriended at the grocery store would turn out to be a conniving matchmaker, cleverly setting him up with her beloved granddaughter. But once he lays eyes on Jayme, Rocket can't be too upset. Especially when, at forty, he'd already given up on finding "the one." Suddenly, the love and family he'd all but given up on could be his for the taking.

But life is precious. And short. And happiness can be snatched away in the space of a breath. All things Rocket may discover the hard way...before he even gets his ring on Jayme's finger.
