Ellie Summers, a sweet, awkward girl who speaks her mind without thinking was leading her own normal life, barely making ends meet after getting fresh out of college and pursuing an editing job but all that normality goes down the drain when a man is literally dropped dead in front of her and she is shoved into drama that she didn't ask for.
This unfortunate event makes her end up in the refuge of Jason Parker. A tall, brooding ex-marine and a man of few words. His norm is to go about with his day without much human interaction, just the way he likes it but even he isn't able to completely ignore colorful Ellie Parker who tests him in ways he never has been.
 
Will Ellie be able to add color to Jason's life?
Will Jason let her into his world?
Will Ellie survive the mess she has been shoved into?

In His Refuge

They say, don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened and that's what Ellie was trying so hard to do as they were driving over to the airport.

She took the beautiful scenery of the twin in, the lush jungle, Jason's coffee farms the small stores, everything.

Without realizing Ellie had become attached to this place and she realized how ungrateful she was being in the beginning when she didn't appreciate it here due to petty reasons like not having the internet, being away from her job (which she was exhausted from) and being bored which she wouldn't have been if she just tried to appreciate the beauty of the place she was put in rather than treat it as a punishment.

She was glad that she realized it soon enough that this was an opportunity and had a the time of her life in this town of Del Norte.
