For ten years, Henrietta McCall turned a deaf ear to her father's sage advice and now he was gone. And for ten long years, she's lived in a self-imposed prison. Unwilling to admit that pride cost her the love of her life, she turned to teaching and buried herself in her career.

With her dad gone, she's given up her career to come home and run the family store. Which means she has to face Brad Trimble, the boyfriend she'd spurned years before; the man she still longs for. Is he still carrying a torch for her? Red-haired Hattie isn't sure if she wants to know.
