Skye Garin finds purpose volunteering in the pediatric ward, using music and humor to brighten sick children's days. When overcrowding forces the hospital to place an adult patient in the children's section, Skye encounters Jordan Kiley. The car accident victim lies trapped in traction, unable to move his pinned arm or feed himself. His harsh demeanor masks deeper pain, just as Skye's cheerful exterior conceals her own devastating losses. Jordan recognizes the heartbreak behind her bright smile and carries secrets that could change everything between them. Their opposing views on faith create another barrier to connection. As Skye feels drawn to help this difficult man, she must confront whether she deserves love after her past tragedies. Jordan faces his own challenge: convincing Skye she is worthy of devotion while winning her trust despite his hidden truths.
