After taking stock of her life, Sophie Enright has decided itβs time for a break. Between a law career thatβs become criminally dull and a two-timing boyfriend sheβs 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 Sophieβs labor of love becomes a bone of contention for her new neighbor Jason Bowers. The local landscaper has big plans for growing his businessβuntil Sophie scoops up the property heβs got his eye on. And no amount of buyout offers or badgering from him will get her to budge. Itβs hardly the start of a beautiful friendship. But when theyβre paired up to work on a community project, they agree to put their differences aside, and sparks begin to fly. Then Sophieβs cheating ex suddenly shows up, looking for a second chanceβand 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?
