I had a perfect life\u2014married to my high school sweetheart and preparing for our new baby. Then\u00a0tragedy struck.<\/p>\n
I could have moved us back to have the support of our parents, but home isn’t where you come from, it’s where you want to be. And I want to be here in Balsam Ridge.<\/p>\n
So I begin anew, a single mom with a fractured heart. Determined to rise above the grief and grasp the joy that still bubbles inside of me every time I look into the eyes of our baby girl.<\/p>\n
Starting with a job at the local hemp farm.<\/p>\n
Weston Tuttle is a walking contradiction. Playful yet ambitious. Soft yet strong. Wisecracking yet caring. A beautiful man with a sexy smile and big heart, and a blessing to me and my\u00a0daughter.<\/p>\n
This may not be the life I planned, but it could be the life that I was always meant to live.<\/p>\n
