After taking stock of her life, Sophie Enright has decided
it’s time for a break. Between a law career that’s become
criminally dull and a two-timing boyfriend she’s done with
once and for all, Sophie desperately needs some time to
think and some space to breathe. The perfect place to do
both is easygoing St. Dennis, Maryland, where Sophie can
visit with her brother while she figures out her options.
Once in St. Dennis, she discovers a shuttered restaurant and
makes a bold move that is also a leap of faith. Sophie buys
the fixer-upper in order to finally pursue her dream career.
But Sophie’s labor of love becomes a bone of contention for
her new neighbor Jason Bowers. The local landscaper has big
plans for growing his business—until Sophie scoops up the
property he’s got his eye on. And no amount of buyout offers
or badgering from him will get her to budge. It’s hardly the
start of a beautiful friendship. But when they’re paired up
to work on a community project, they agree to put their
differences aside, and sparks begin to fly. Then Sophie’s
cheating ex suddenly shows up, looking for a second
chance—and threatening to make Jason a third wheel just when
his hotheaded feelings about Sophie were turning decidedly
warmhearted. All Sophie wants is a new life and a true love.
But what are the odds of having both?
