When Elly Macauley moves to Shannon Ridge, Texas, she expects to fill her days helping her grandmother - doling out medications and running errands. Still smarting from her fiance's betrayal, the last thing she needs or wants right now is a man, especially a good-looking one. She's been down that road before. Derek White's wife left him without a word, and he's reluctant to get involved with another woman. But Granny Macauley's granddaughter Elly sure is tempting. He still doesn't understand why Jeanette disappeared, so how can he explain the situation to Elly? And can he be sure he's legally free? Granny says some things come along only once and you have to grab them while you can. But when Derek's past threatens and Elly's ex-fiance reappears, she must decide - give her former love a second chance or gamble on a man whose history may ruin everything."
