2If it was only about her, she might never have come back to Rose Bend.

But it's not only about her anymore.

Sydney Collins left the small Berkshires town of Rose Bend eight years ago, grieving her sister's death--and heartbroken over her parents' rejection. But now the rebel is back--newly divorced and pregnant--ready to face her fears and make a home for her child in the caring community she once knew. The last thing she needs is trouble. But trouble just set her body on fire with one hot, hot smile.

Widower and Rose Bend mayor Coltrane Dennison hasn't smiled in ages. Until a chance run-in with Sydney Collins, who's all grown-up and making him want what he knows he can't have. Grief is his only connection to the wife and son he lost, and he won't give it up. Not for Sydney, not for her child, not for his heart. But when Sydney's ex threatens to upend everything she's rebuilt in Rose Bend, Cole and Sydney may find that a little trouble will take them where they never expected to go.
