"If it comes to love, age is just a number."
Skye Jones has always been a free spirit, never really fitting into the little village that is her hometown. Returning home hasn't been an option until she is left with no other choice. Skye's bound to get away the first chance she gets; but not before dealing with the weight of her past.
Distraction comes in the form of young Theo Harris, an acquaintance from her childhood days. Theo has learned that eyes as blue as ice and an engaging personality are useless if you don't know how to win a woman's favor.
When the two meet again, Skye decides to teach younger Theo the art of chivalry. After all, only a woman knows what women really want.
