J.T. Merriam walked away from his family company and everything he knew to protect the ones he loves. In doing so, he found Caroline Hale, an art expert, to help him build a new life. But the person who threatened him—his ex-wife—is back and she’s not finished trying to destroy his second chance. Yet J.T. has come home to Dare Valley where his family roots run deep, and he has new allies, none more so than the town legend himself, newspaper giant Arthur Hale. As the small town rallies around J.T., Caroline comes under attack, threatening the love they have for each other and making J.T. wonder if he will have to walk away from her and his new beginning in Dare Valley.
