When Gillian Parker inherits a house in Rocky Point Maine from a woman she never met, she can't believe it. The charming New England town has all anyone could want with a seaside setting and friendly neighbors—except for the one next door.

Joe Kincaid doesn't trust his new neighbor. He's too wary to trust anyone from glittering Las Vegas when she says she's here to stay in bucolic Rocky Point—especially when another claimant arrives to take possession of the house. He refuses to let down his guard no matter how interested he's becoming in Gillian.

Trust like love takes time to build. Can these two become more than neighbors? Or will the past be too much to overcome?
