She's given up on love -- until mysterious flowers and notes start arriving at her work. He's her dad's best friend, secretly in love with her. Will he risk his decades-long friendship for a chance at forever, or stay hidden as her secret admirer?

Rachael
I've never had a secret admirer -- not even close. In my 21 years, I've barely had any romantic attention, let alone a boyfriend. With Valentine's Day around the corner, I'm bracing myself for another holiday spent alone, listening to my coworkers and friends gush about their romantic plans. But just when I thought things couldn't feel worse, someone starts leaving me flowers and sweet notes at the coffeehouse where I work. It's flattering, thrilling even, but also confusing. And then there's Cole Bennett -- my dad's best friend and the gorgeous firefighter who seems to be showing up at Hideaway Valley Roasters a lot more than usual. Could my admirer possibly be him? A man like Cole could have anyone -- so why would he ever want someone like me?

Cole
It hit me about a year ago -- Rachael Griffith isn't a kid anymore. She's grown into the kind of woman who takes my breath away; beautiful, smart, funny -- everything I've ever wanted and never found. But Rachael is also my best friend's daughter, and that makes things... complicated. I've tried to stay away, but when I overhear her telling a coworker during my morning coffee run how lonely and unlovable she feels, I can't stay silent. So, I start leaving gifts and notes, trying to tell her how special she is without ruining everything. But it doesn't take long before Rachael starts piecing it together, and I know it's only a matter of time before she confronts me. When the moment finally comes, will I be able to tell her how I feel -- or will I let the fear of losing my friend keep me from the only woman I've everloved?
