The Vineyard Sunset series, [10]

"Veteran Andy is set to marry Beth, the love of his life and the younger sister of his long-dead best friend, Kurt, who died overseas. Over the past year, Andy has fallen head-over-heels for Beth and become something of a father figure for her only son, Will, who is autistic. But the wild and chaotic changes of including Andy in a world that has been primarily Beth-and-Will-only causes Will to catapult into fears and panics that seem unparalleled. As Andy contemplates how to fit himself into Beth's world, Andy strikes up a friendship with an older Vietnam vet named Clint, who fixes up antique furniture and largely keeps to himself. Andy wonders if this is the life he's meant for--even as the older man reveals the depths of his loneliness. Beth's own previous secrets come to a head over the Thanksgiving holiday as a dark and volatile man from her past returns to her and Will's life with a potential vendetta against the world she's created for herself and Will. Will Andy and Beth find a way to come together despite so much turmoil? Or are Beth and Andy meant to continue their decades-long commitment to heartache and loneliness?" -- Amazon
