Forty year-old Julia Bentley slipped into such a routine that she did not even observe her birthday's passing. When Tristan Hannigan, a younger man, moves to town and reinvigorates her days, she is delighted until her insecurities get the best of her.
Chelsea Barrett finally has her life under control. She recently moved back home to Chilton Crosse, finished her first year of teaching, and completed the renovations on her Nightingale Cottage. But the sudden appearance of Luka McKane stops her in her tracks. Luka is the vicar's rebellious son and Chelsea's first love from sixteen years ago-the one she never got out of her system, the one who still occasionally haunts her dreams. When Luka decides to stay in the village indefinitely, Chelsea makes the best of it by choosing to ignore their rocky past and start fresh with him, as friends. But when Chelsea and Luka begin inching closer together, the lines of their friendship blur, and they're forced to face their troubled past. Chelsea must decide whether loving Luka is worth the risk, a second time around.
