New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart presents a
captivating contemporary romance novel in the tradition of Robyn Carr,
Susan Mallery, and Barbara Freethy.
Life was always just about perfect for Brooke Madison Bowers. She was
the prettiest, most popular girl in small-town St. Dennis, Maryland, a
prom queen, local pageant star, and the pride and joy of her loving
parents. She even married the man of her dreams. But the promise of
happily ever after fell to pieces when her husband was killed while
serving in Iraq. Brokenhearted and longing for the solace of better
days, she returns to the idyllic world of St. Dennis, and the familiar
comfort of the family farm. Surrounded by her loving family and friends,
she's determined to build a new life, complete with her own cupcake
bakery. She's equally determined never to fall in love again.
For Jesse Enright, life has been a challenge. A fourth-generation
attorney, he's spent his life fighting to escape the shadow of his
irresponsible father. Now he's moved to St. Dennis to run the family law
practice, and he's ready to find the right girl, get married, and settle
down. But his carefully laid plans go out the window when he meets
Brooke and finds himself caught between the unbreakable law of
attraction and Brooke's resolve to go her way alone--despite the
undeniable feelings Jesse stirs in her. But just like catching lightning
in a bottle, is it possible to fall head-over-heels, heart-and-soul in
love all over again?
