Single mom, Lauren Jessup, quickly realizes the waitressing job she took in the California coastal town of Bella Luna will never pay the bills. But she's a good listener, and regular customer Nick DiMartino needs a sympathetic ear.

Nick DiMartino is willing to do anything to gain permanent custody of his child--even leave Bella Luna and the home he and his young son love.

But Lauren knows the pain of never being allowed to stay in one place long enough to grow roots and vows to stay and help Nick and his son...at least until the Pink Moon.
