Child of Hope
Love has brought growth to the king family over the past few years, and it has helped to heal the wound that grief had inflicted on their lives -- except for Hayden's. Hayden King carries a burden that is his alone, and the weight of it is crushing the life out of him. After complications following his latest surgery leave him with an amputation, he rarely leaves his apartment. His new housekeeper, Paige Cantor, is the single mother to a disabled son, and she is determined to take care of him as best she can. When she has no option one day but to take her son to work with her, Paige hopes that Hayden will stay in his room as he does most days. Unfortunately, Hayden walks into the kitchen to find Rylan sitting in his wheelchair at the table. Meeting Rylan opens Hayden's eyes, and he finds himself drawn to the young boy and his mom. Though she has cooked and cleaned for Hayden for months, it is only as he interacts with Rylan that Paige begins to see a different side to the wounded man.
