Once upon a long time ago, he broke her heart. Good thing she's too smart to fall for him a second time...

Allie Grant is a journalist who could use some luck. She needs a big story fast to secure her dream job, so when she gets a tip from someone in her home town about a haunted house, she hightails it back to Whispering Bay to investigate.

But wouldn't you know the building is scheduled for demolition? And the guy in charge? None other than her high school ex—Tom Donalan, the boy who smashed her heart to smithereens.

Now Tom's a single dad and, okay, sure, he had a good reason to break up with her all those years ago, but that doesn't mean Allie's just going to fall back into his arms. No matter how nice and muscly those arms might be.

Tom agrees to delay the demolition so Allie can get her story—but there's a catch. He's going to help.

Can Allie write the story, win the job, and get the heck out of town before history repeats itself?
