When Elizabeth Robb left Three Creeks, she never expected to return

Even after all these years she's not ready to face her painful past, and only a request from her elderly grandmother could bring her back to town. She hopes her arrival will escape notice and that she can leave as quietly as she's come, but she doesn't really expect that to happen. For Elizabeth, there is just too much family and too much history in Three Creeks.

But once Elizabeth meets Jack McKinnon, her grandmother's mysterious new neighbour, she begins to believe there might be some good to come from a long journey home. If only Jack didn't have as much in his past as Elizabeth .
