Hope Spencer needed a fresh start. The life she was living, and who she shared it with, became so far away from the point of being happy or safe. She was slowly losing control of her own life. She decided she wanted it back.

Hope found a new life in the small town of Stratford. It was far from the city, her old life, and everything that had once held her down. She also found Matthew Marconi. He would help her overcome and forget the life she fled while helping her rebuild a new one. She soon found herself thinking about a brighter future, something she had not thought was possible in a very long time. However, such thoughts can prove too dangerous to pursue.

Just as Hope finally felt safe and secure in her new world, she is reminded that the past is never too far behind. Does Hope get the chance to be swept up in a steamy, small-town romance, or does her past catch up to her after all?
