Emery Wilson, 26, having just lost her job and with a stigma hanging over her life, is forced to return to her hometown. Fate plays yet another dirty trick on her and brings her face to face once again with Charles O'Connor, her first boyfriend, the only man 'who stirred up trouble in the most secret, most guarded part of her heart'.
As she tries to rebuild a quiet life for herself in the depths of the harsh South Dakota winter, Emery realises that something between them has survived eight years of silence, misunderstandings and unspoken words. And perhaps it is worth betting on that feeling, dancing again on that balance that now, more mature and aware, they understand better. First, however, she must find the strength to tell Charles what happened to her...
But as Emery and Charles find their way home together, someone is following their every step, even in the desolate town of Ipswich.
