She is stunned to discover the house is already occupied by three brothers named Miles, Travis and Carter. Deciding to keep their living arrangement a secret for the time being, Frankie wants the boys to stay for good. Ryan is willing to do whatever it takes to help Frankie make that happen, even if it means walking away.
