The youngest uber successful sibling finds his HEA with a heroine who is a social worker. They don't get off the best start because they differ on how to treat a young teen who keeps breaking out of school to meet his incarcerated father. Both h/H have to face how they misjudged each other helping out a confused teen and his father in the interim. Decent read.
