Magdalena, New York
Home of memories long buried, steamy nights, and one regrettable summer...
Grace Romano had been seventeen, impressionable, innocent to the power of attraction and desire.
Max Ruhland taught her about both. He loved Grace and thought they had a future together, until she crushed his heart and told him he wasn't part of her life plan.
Twenty-two years later, Grace Romano Clarke is a widow with two children and a pile of broken dreams. When her aunt dies, she must return to Magdalena, the town she'd rather forget, to honor the woman's last wishes: stay in her house for thirty days, and complete a list that, according to her aunt, will reveal a bit about life and maybe reveal something about herself, too. What Grace doesn't know but will find out soon enough is that Max Ruhland must stay in the house with her and help complete the list!
Max Ruhland isn't the same lovesick puppy from the wrong side of the tracks who had his heart broken all those years ago. He's a wealthy, successful businessman who owes his good fortune to Grace's aunt, the woman who never gave up on him. Max can have any woman he wants, but he's never forgotten Grace, or how she hurt him. Now he'll have to spend the next thirty days with her - in close quarters - to honor her aunt's last wishes, and he's not looking forward to it.
It's going to get very interesting as the town watches and wonders what's going on between those two. Of course, Pop Benito understands exactly what's happening in the house on Bayberry Street, even if Max and Grace don't. He's the one who helped Grace's aunt create the thirty-day list, which he insists will finally get this couple their happily-ever-after!
Are you wondering how Pete Finnegan and Elissa Cerdi's Christmas wedding plans are progressing? Well, they aren't progressing. Seems some people in town can't forgive Elissa for partnering with Gloria Blacksworth, and they're determined to shred her reputation. Plus, Elissa is suffering from a case of mistrust every time a woman talks to her fiance, and that's driving Pete crazy. They better figure things out quick, or Elissa won't be walking down the aisle...
See you in Magdalena!
