A woman who has expe­ri­enced one too many betrayals—and the man who has always loved her. A sec­ond chance to throw the dice … and risk every­thing for love .…

High school stu­dent Dylan Tay­lor wants to sink per­ma­nent roots into Maple Cove, his home­town sit­u­at­ed on the Ore­gon coast. His girl­friend, Wil­low Mar­tin, prefers to pur­sue her pas­sion for art, stretch­ing her wings and liv­ing abroad. The pair agrees to go their sep­a­rate ways after grad­u­a­tion though they secret­ly believe they will always love one anoth­er. But Dylan also leaves the Cove after his fam­i­ly is trag­i­cal­ly killed by a drunk dri­ver, join­ing the army and serv­ing as a mil­i­tary police­man in var­i­ous posts around the globe.

A dozen years lat­er, Dylan makes his way back to Maple Cove and is elect­ed sher­iff. Wil­low, after anoth­er bad breakup and the death of her beloved grand­moth­er, returns from abroad to her hometown—and sparks fly between the couple.

Dylan believes fate has brought them togeth­er again and looks at Willow’s return as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to renew their romance. Wil­low, burned one too many times by unfaith­ful men, does her best to push her for­mer flame away, telling him they are adults now and very dif­fer­ent peo­ple from the teenagers who were once mad­ly in love.

The more Wil­low is around him, though, the more she believes Dylan is the one who got away.

Can she risk her heart one more time in the hopes of find­ing her soulmate—or will Wil­low deny the love that still exists and leave the Cove for good?
