Portland is a new beginning for Beth Prudomme. A chance to spread her wings and prove to herself, as well as her mother, that she is a capable adult able to make it on her own.
School was never really Sam Carney’s thing, much preferring working with his hands under the hood of a car. He makes a decent living, loves what he does, and has no desire to change his life anytime soon.
Beth is not all that interested in a blind date, but considering how her mother vetted every date she has ever had, maybe this is the change she needs. What begins as an incredibly uncomfortable dinner with friends turns into a life altering event for both Sam and Beth. The weeks and months to come are a crazy mixture of agony and joy, bonding Sam and Beth in a way neither is prepared for. With one major heartbreak in his past, Sam is most certainly not looking for another, yet it may already be too late.
Freedom to Beth means making her own way, her own mistakes, and living life without her mother choreographing her every move. There is no doubt she will stumble and fall, yet her aunt and friends are very adept at encouraging without smothering. Sam becomes an integral part in Beth’s healing, but her strength does as much for him. I find it refreshing to see a couple build a solid foundation of friendship well before anything more.
