After finishing high school, Ashlyn left her tiny northern hometown with no intention of ever setting foot there again. But when her grandmother passes away, leaving the entirety of her estate to her estranged granddaughter, Ashlyn has no choice but to return. To make matters worse, it's the middle of the holidays—the time of year when "family" and "togetherness" always hits like a slap in the face.
She tells herself it's temporary. Just a short stay until she can untangle her grandmother's estate and return to her life in the city. But, back in the rural, rustic confines of Lenora, Wisconsin, Ashlyn is forced to confront the ghosts of her past—the flawed woman who raised her, the steadfast friends who saved her, and the boy she never quite managed to forget... a boy who is very much a man now, and who hasn't forgotten her either.
