Nine years after leaving the small Scottish town where she'd grown up, Tag Grainger is forced to return following the sudden death of her father—and back to a life she's long since put behind her. After inheriting a share in a family business she wants no part in, Tag is overwhelmed by the dark clouds of her past: her brother can't forgive her, the nephew she adored doesn't remember her, and everywhere she goes there are whispers about how she abandoned her family.

With her old wounds reopened, Tag longs to escape again, until the appearance of the intriguing and spirited Freddie Metcalfe forces her to reevaluate much more than she thought she needed to. But while Freddie is nursing her own broken heart, can she help Tag reconnect with her family and move on from her past?
