Micah grew up in the Zapato orphanage, and is proud to take over Abuelo Zapato's role of providing for the family--the children who have become his siblings--in Everland's leather goods shop. Since being scarred in one of his brother-in-law's gunfights, he knows they're the only family he'll ever have. And he's at peace with that...until fate and the Guild of Godmothers drop two unexpected females in his path. When his old childhood friend Penelope--Pea--shows up just in time to save him from a gruesome death, Micah is smitten. And when he sees her cuddling the new baby orphan, he's in love.
But Pea isn't in Everland on a whim; she's there on a mission regarding Micah's past, and refuses to tell him the truth. That secret is going to tear them apart, unless they get some help from a particularly dopey Godmother. And that's when everything goes wrong...or does it?
