Emery Jensen came to Cranberry Ridge for a fresh start, one she fully intends to leave behind. Taking over a coffee shop she never wanted, she's determined to keep her head down and not get attached to anything she won't be able to keep.
When Dylan Gladwin, the owner of a local construction company, puts in an estimate she can't refuse, he becomes the temptation she knows she shouldn't get involved with. But Cranberry Ridge has other plans. Between community events and one particularly meddling neighbor, keeping her distance becomes impossible.
For the first time, she starts to want this life. Him. But wanting it and being allowed to keep it are two very different things.
When the truth she's running from doesn't stay contained, it won't just change how Dylan sees her. It will decide whether she gets to stay or lose everything.
