Some love stories are worth waiting a lifetime for.

Grace Tyack thought she had it all figured out-until her marriage crumbled, her career imploded, and she found herself back in the small town she'd spent years trying to forget. Caring for her mother after surgery, Grace discovers that sometimes the biggest failures lead to the most unexpected blessings.

Then, in a twist she did not see coming, she learns that her mother has a boyfriend. Don Gillett is a sweet widower, but he comes with unexpected baggage: his son Trevor, Grace's high school sweetheart whom she left without explanation years ago. When the four of them start spending time together, Grace and Trevor concoct a scheme to ensure their parents' happiness by pretending to rekindle their own romance.

But in a town where everyone knows everyone's business, fake feelings have a way of becoming real. Between family secrets, small-town gossip, and the healing power of second chances, Grace must decide if coming home means moving backward-or finally moving toward the life she was meant to live.
