As a single mother, successful real estate broker Raquel Jenkins wants nothing more than to provide a stable life for herself and her eight-year-old daughter Natasha. However, thoughts of her first and only love Nicholas Wood-the man she swore she'd never leave, yet left behind without a word-emotionally hinder her from moving forward. When tragedy strikes, Raquel is forced to return to her home town, Deerwood, Mississippi. Not only will she have to face Nicholas and reveal the truth behind her abrupt departure eight years ago, but she'll learn there's more to her secret than she ever imagined.
