A bond that not even time can break...

As kids, Emily Quinn and Matt Malone were thick as thieves in the tightly-knit community of Cassabaw Station. Then Emily's world crumbled into tragedy and she was sent away. Now she's returned to run a beachside café she now owns. A free spirit with a guarded heart.

But while this town still feels like home, Matt is nothing like the boy she remembered. He is a man lost to shadows and doubt. As he helps Emily restore the café, their childhood bond reignites and unfurls into bittersweet longing. Now they face the greatest test of friendship — love.
