On the surface, Lynsey Reznor seems to have it all. She is beautiful, brilliant, and a successful true-crime writer living the past decade in Miami. But what Lynsey lacks is what she needs the most—a family.

After the death of her mother and yet another failed relationship, Lynsey makes an impulsive decision to return to her hometown of Unity. But Unity will present its bittersweet memories, most notably, her first love, Nick Lincoln.

Years earlier, Nick broke Lynsey's heart when he decided to marry another. He had his private reasons—reasons he never explained to Lynsey. Now she is back, and he has a chance to reclaim her love. But Lynsey wants answers from him that he may never be able to give out of duty and guilt.
