When Dillion Reed strolls into Janey Mayfields candy shop, the past opens up like a forbidden door. The imposing ex-marine turned high school principle is a shocking reminder of an affair that shattered all their lives.
After the scandal that destroyed two marriages, Janey fled to Colorado with her daughter. Now, three years later, she's come back to South Carolina, determined to make a success of the business she inherited and keep control of her well-orderd life. But it's an uphill battle, what with her rebellious teenage daughter, a rash of break-ins plaguing the town, and an ex-husband with a grudge.
She tells herself she doesn't want the attraction she feels for Dillion. She doesn't want to be vulnerable to what his heated glance has put on offer: sweet, irresistible passion. But Janey discovers that the more it stands in her way.
