Best Friends in the Show Me State

Marlowe Glass and Clark Hudson grew up together, side-by-side, neighbors and best friends in the same small town. Now, both single parents, they are each other's main support. They carpool together, kid sit for one another, and share pretty much everything except a home. And even though they are very different, they balance one another out perfectly. They are truly best friends.

So, when a horrible storm destroys Marlowe's house, she doesn't hesitate to accept Clark's offer to stay at his farm until she and her daughter can find permanent housing.

While bad weather may have taken out Marlowe's home, a manipulative ex-wife is trying to take full custody of Clark's son. And when Marlowe and Clark's bond turns into an undeniable attraction, Clark fears giving into it may threaten their friendship and his son's position in his life.

Neither Marlowe nor Clark can imagine a life without the other, but are they willing to risk it all to show one another what a romance between two best friends can truly become?
