Colton Hadley has everything-except what he truly wants. Beset by overbearing parents and surrounded by sycophantic socialites hoping to sink their claws into his wallet, he longs for someone who wants him for who he is, not what he has. Enter Charlie. She's smart, beautiful, brave-and homeless. She's all wrong for him, but Charlie crawls into Colts heart like no woman ever before. Having run from home to escape an abusive ex, Charlotte Ward just wants a new life...a quiet life...a safe life. She's off to a bad start when she's robbed of everything she owns, forcing her to sleep on the porch of an abandoned beach house. Enter the gorgeous next-door neighbor. Charlie doesn't want to trust him, but Colt is kind, patient, persistent. Before long, she lets down her guard...and opens her heart. With his parents interfering and her past catching up fast, will Colt and Charlie find their different worlds are too far apart? Or is their love strong enough to prove home is where their hearts reside?
