Stefanie Lockwood can repair anything, except her heartโthatโs still recovering.
Steffi Lockwood has survived more than most. Now left with puzzling memory lapses following an assault, she returns to her coastal Connecticut hometown to rebuild her life the best way she knows how: with her hands. But starting a remodeling business with one longtime friend puts her in the middle of a rift with another. Worse, being hired by her ex-boyfriendโs mother forces her to confront old regrets.
Public defender Ryan Quinn wasnโt shocked when his wife left him, but he was floored when she abandoned their daughter. With his finances up in the air, the newly single dad returns to his childhood home in Sanctuary Sound. The last person he expects, or wants, to see working on his family house is Steffi Lockwoodโhis first love who shattered his heart.
Although Steffi and Ryan are different people now, dormant feelings rekindle. But when Ryanโs concern for Steffiโs mental health prompts him to dig into her past for answers, will what he learns bring them together or tear them apart for good?
