When Samantha moves back to her hometown of Holly, she's determined to build a fresh start—until Maguire O'Connor walks back into her life, and suddenly all those old feelings come rushing back. Years ago, she made a choice that cost her the chance to be with him, but fate (and a little family meddling) gives them an unexpected second act when he accidentally hires her as his real estate agent. As the chemistry between them ignites all over again, Maguire is clear about one thing: he's not letting her slip away a second time. But when a dangerous ghost from Sam's past threatens everything, Maguire steps into full protective mode, determined to fight for the woman he never stopped loving.
