After years climbing the corporate ladder, twenty-six-year-old Eleanor Blain returns home expecting to organize her mother's affairs and leave as quickly as possible. Instead, she finds her fiercely independent mother is struggling, her finances are in chaos, and the beautiful old house she grew up in is one storm away from disaster.
Even worse, she finds Rory. Her childhood neighbor and friend, the boy she used to climb trees with, is all grown up and looking a little too good. What begins as reluctant cooperation soon turns into friendship, flirtation, and a passion neither can resist.
The problem? Eleanor has no intention of sticking around.
As secrets, jealousy, and betrayal threaten to destroy their fragile connection, Eleanor must decide whether success is really worth the price she's paid to achieve it.
