Tessa is on a mission to save her home town, voted one of the dullest small towns in the country. She hasn’t counted on brother-in-law Gabe coming back, or her growing feelings for the man who abandoned her when she needed him most.

An SOS call from the small town’s mayor has brought Gabe back home and face-to-face with the secret he’s kept all these years. That he is in love with Tessa – and that she is the one woman he can never have. But when life in the Bay takes some unexpected turns, it becomes clear that he’s not going anywhere… and neither are his feelings for Tessa.

Matthew McLeod never expected to find love again, especially now his ‘perfect’ marriage over. He sure never expected to find his past smacking him in the face in the form of his colleague’s ex wife. Librarian Anna Cameron is getting over the loss of her daughter, but falling for Matthew is bringing a new reason to live into her life. But how can she be part of his life, when he can never trust anyone again?
