When Jacob Steele returns home after fifteen years, it isn’t to reconnect with the town that loved him. Instead, his motivation is purely financial. He needs capital and he isn't above claiming the inheritance bequeathed to him by the father whom he felt betrayed him. Unfortunately for the man who now calls himself Jay Lawrence, the inheritance comes with conditions. These conditions will keep Jay in Riverbend for a month working in the family bookstore. If he decides not to fulfill the terms, the bookstore and the farmhouse he used to cherish go to the manager, Kate McMann. Jay isn't about to let a woman, whose ambiguous relationship with his father is questionable, get her hands on his inheritance. Keeping his identity a secret, he sets out to confront her, never knowing that she and her twin daughters will change his plans, not to mention his life, forever in this story of redemption and second chances.
