Drawn together from childhood, Sean McGee and Melanie Mitchell seemed destined for each other. But at thirteen, Melanie was wrenched from the people she loved and forced onto a path she loathed. Losing Melanie devastated Sean. When she suddenly reappeared in Orson's Folly, he was overjoyed. The Melanie who came home, though, wasn't the same girl. She's got a harder edge and she's obviously hiding something, but Sean no longer knows how to reach her.
Returning to Orson's Folly as an adult, all Melanie wanted to do was forget the years she spent away. But going home didn't mean she could return to her old life—or her childhood sweetheart, Sean. Even their mutual attraction hasn't rebuilt the bond of trust they once shared. It's been seven years since she returned and now everything Melanie wants to forget has broadsided her. She must confront her demons and relive her past or risk losing the only man she's ever loved. But even if she succeeds, Sean might be lost to her anyway.
