"Don't let fear sway you. You're not your past." Seraphina Daniels feels like running--the kind of running that doesn't include a set destination. So, when her childhood friend calls in distress, she's more than prepared to leave behind her failed--and famous--relationship, her writer's block, and her impending thirtieth birthday. But upon her return to the Ozarks--a sharp contrast to New York City--she discovers that everything's changed. The homecoming brings Sera to Chace Holloway: the man who's made a home out of the place that was once hers. Romance isn't an option, but friendship comes easily with the twenty-two-year-old songwriter--despite the attraction they both feel. What started as an escape becomes more of a trap when the past begins to wrap around the present. As hope blooms, Sera and Chace face their biggest obstacles--what they each fear, and what old lovers desire.
