Roxy LaFollette is proud of the food empire she built in Flynn's Crossing. With her nationally-acclaimed restaurant, her gourmet grocery, and her catering business, she has little time to indulge in the kind of relationship her girl tribe friends recommend. Besides, all men are scum in her opinion - her friends' fiancés and husbands excluded, of course. The results of a business decision, however, are about to put the reason for her cherished opinion at center stage in her life.

Movie director Mac Smythe knows it is probably best to let the past stay in the past. With so much riding on the success of the thriller he is filming in Flynn's Crossing, he has no time for distractions. His taste for adventure has been tempered over the years, due in large part to the loss of the one woman he thought he could trust and love. But when fate finally gives him a second chance, it seems that his desire to forgive is jinxed.

As two pasts unexpectedly collide with the present, only time will tell if love has the power to overcome the consequences of questions, lies, and betrayal and lead Roxy and Mac into a future neither could have imagined.
