Mercy Rose has spent the last decade trying to reinvent herself. Now, her new life in the big city could completely fall apart if the small-town boy who used to hold her heart lays claim to it once more...
New York wedding planner Mercy Rose is looking forward to a future not unlike the fairy tales she creates day after day for her clients. She's even got the perfect prince to seal her fairy tale fate.
When a hurricane savagely blows through her small hometown in rural Louisiana, it's her past she needs to worry about. Going home means risking more than finding her family's B&B in ruins. It could lead to churning up every last piece of her past she thought was dead and buried.
Mainly, every piece she ever shared with Frank Kingston - the boy next door and her first love.
Determined to prove she's moved on, Mercy sets her sights only on matters of the hurricane and serving the community ravaged by it. But the longer she's here, the harder it gets to separate who she's become from who she once was, and maybe, deep down, has always been.
And, the harder it gets to deny, the boy who broke her heart...could now turn out to be the man who still owns it.
