Marsden family.
Michael Marsden has always felt like an outsider despite his
family's loving embrace. His desire for independence spurs
him to leave his hometown of Serendipity to become an
undercover cop in New York City. Yet his restless soul is
summoned back home when his dad's serious health condition
requires him to fill in as the local police chief. His stay
is temporary at best, just until his father is back on his
feet. Mike has no intention of making Serendipity his
permanent home.
Mike's best laid plans come into question the moment he
re-encounters Cara Hartley. Their one-night-stand from a
previous hometown visit quickly becomes a hot topic. As
Cara's boss, Mike has a difficult time ignoring the sexual
tension on the job and dares to partake in a
no-strings-attached relationship despite his better
judgment. As their two lives slowly begin to intertwine,
Mike voices his doubt of making a commitment to a woman
whose heart belongs to a small town.
When a cold case needing Mike's attention brings secrets
from his family's past to light, Mike comes face to face
with some life-changing decisions that could affect whether
he and Cara will have a future. As the two grow closer, Mike
wonders if his roots are to blame for his wanderlust ways.
With both his family's future and love affair with Cara on
the line, Mike is forced to decide exactly what he is
willing to fight for and whether he has what it takes to
make him want to stay.
