Can her first love save her life and heal her heart?

Joey made a vow never to return home, but then his brother is murdered. His boss needs him on a critical case in Seattle, yet his honed detective instincts tell him whoever killed his brother is part of something more sinister than the Elkridge deputies can handle. There’s just one problem: Going home means seeing Mara. The girl he’s never forgotten and the one he’s loved since high school. However, there’s something he doesn’t know - something big.

Mara had big dreams. Taking over a neglected small-town flower shop wasn’t one of them. Neither was losing her parents and her independence. She’s trying to make the best of life, but weird things are happening in town, and she can’t shake the feeling of being watched. Her world tilts even more when Joey - her first love and the man who broke her heart - unexpectedly arrives.

Why did he come back now when she’s so broken? How can he leave when those he loves need protecting?
