After ten years, Jason Cooper, once town bad-boy, returns to Devil's Cove, Michigan as a successful novelist. Though he tells himself that he's here to honor his old teacher, who helped transform his life, he can't deny that he is eager to see his first love.

Dr. Emily Brennan is determined to keep her distance from Jason, who broke her heart when he left town without a word. Now that he's back, she is being threatened in ways that resemble the criminal behavior in Jason's latest bestseller. Coincidence? Or is there real danger? Can Jason and Emily escape harm to find their happy ending?
