After a painfully failed marriage, the sting of rejection still aching even a year later, Juliana had sworn off relationships. Despite pressure from her sister to get back out there, she was happy to keep to herself in the little coastal town of Port Charlotte. She focused on improving the lives of her students - if she couldn't do anything to improve her own. That all changed when she met Mark in the most unlikely of situations: at the receiving end of a brutally honest parent teacher meeting. He was smart, handsome, and falling for her, despite his instincts telling him not to. Juliana finds herself struggling between keeping up the walls that she's built to protect her heart, or taking another chance to learn what love is again.
