"Sometimes holding on to pain means letting go of love. If there's no place like home, that's more than okay for Mara Makinen. In fact, she prefers it that way. Going back to the place where she made the worst mistake of her life? Not ideal. So when a family emergency forces Mara to return home to her small lake town in Maine after seven years, she knows there's only one way she'll get through it unscathed: Avoid Ambrose King at all costs. But that might prove difficult considering he lives right across the street."--Back cover
