Thirty-one year old Liberty Rossini has had her shop, Cherry Blossom Boutique, for just six months when she's nominated for - and wins - the Retail Best Newcomer Award. Life would be perfect for Liberty if it wasn't for one thing: Daniel. Liberty's ex who has recently re-appeared in her life.
Theirs was a significant and serious relationship and they had planned to marry when Daniel mysteriously and suddenly dumped her one day and walked out of her life! Liberty was devastated. Strangely, Daniel still has a powerful hold over her. Is Liberty destined to be Daniel's victim? Will Daniel's emotional hold over her ever diminish? Some relationships are simply harder to let go of than others but unless Liberty lets go, she can't really move on with her life.
When a new man comes into her life, there's a definite spark between them. He's Tom Anderson, a good-looking silversmith in his late thirties. Will Liberty be able to resist being thrown off course by Daniel? Can she put him behind her sufficiently to make the relationship with Tom work? Can she find the inner strength to say enough is enough? Will she ever give herself permission to move on and make a fresh start and fall in love with her new beau?
