Life flips upside down for Gavin Sullivan when a teenage girl from Boston storms into his bakery and announces – surprise! – he's her father. Getting to know Maggie means revisiting his past with his first love, Kate. When they broke up and never looked back, he'd accepted that all their ties were severed forever. Clearly he was wrong.

Eighteen years ago, Kate Parker's reasons for keeping Gavin out of the picture made perfect sense, but the closer Maggie gets to the Sullivan family, the more foolish those old reasons seem. Visiting Willow Creek is for her – their – daughter's sake and nothing more. Kate has no intention of staying, no matter how much it feels like home.

As Gavin and Kate navigate this new relationship, can they build a new foundation over the old one? Or is mixing the present with the past a recipe for disaster?
