Willa has more baggage than the hold of a Boeing 747; estranged from her brother and living alone in a house that's been lifeless since the death of their mother six months ago. All she really wants is some peace and quiet and for her best friend Tom to stop sticking his nose in her business. But everything Willa wants is suddenly thrown into question when she takes on a houseguest who's looking for a bit of peace and quiet of his own.

Dear Spencer, I hate when people say you have to marry your best friend. I fell in love with mine, and how has that worked out for me so far, huh? Life has no order. But I'm pretty sure I'm doing it all backwards. Life is never easy. But if you were here, you'd be making it all make sense somehow. You need to find your way back to us. Please! I need you, Harry needs you. "It" needs you. All my love, Laurel.
