Foodie Joy Waltham is stressed out. Before she can expand her business empire, she needs her ex-husband's signature dissolving their silent partnership. A trip to Maine to find her ex, get his autograph, and chill out seems ideal. But instead of relaxing, Joy winds up inserting herself in the middle of a mystery—and wrapped in the overprotective arms of Comfort's chief of police—her ex-husband.
After retiring from LAPD, Paul Donovan took charge of tiny Comfort's police department. Back in his hometown he may be bored senseless, he's nowhere near ready for chaos in the form of his ex-wife shaking up his life. Joy arrives in perfect time to meddle in his investigation of a string of accidental deaths.
Forced together again, Joy and Paul confront some unexpected challenges. Their son is in harm’s way in the Middle East and their daughter is being stalked back in California. It's emotional deja vu as they dig through their thorny past, reawaken old sexual attraction, and finally face the fact they never stopped loving each other.
