I never planned to return to Albans Cove, until a family emergency has me rushing back home for the first time in fifteen years. Everything’s the same in the small, quirky lake town—everything except the shy girl I left behind. As the owner of the local inn and bar, Whitney Morgan has grown into the confident spitfire I always imagined she’d be. Seeing her again stirs up old memories, and the feelings I thought I’d buried long ago have resurfaced. But I’m not the same naive, young boy she remembers. I'm a man with a deadly past that’s followed me home and a present that's placing everyone I care about in harm's way. With death lurking at every turn, how do I win back the heart of the woman I’m once again falling for while eliminating the imminent peril coming for us all?
