After gaining an old, dilapidated Manor house after her grandmother's death, James Harper Reynolds moves back to her home town. Spending every second of her day working on the house, running her business or arguing with her long term boyfriend, adult life isn't quite as relaxing as she had been expecting when he was a child but it's fair to say her life has taken a turn since the love of her life, Ezra McKinley abandoned her at 18 with just a letter saying he was sorry. 

Now, nearly 9 years later, Ezra takes on a job with a restoration business and things go from bad to worse when the job he's working on happens to be for James.

~~~
"Ezra means nothing to me. He's someone I dated-"
"Someone you dated? James, you don't even love Nick the way you loved Ezra."
"That's unfair, they're different people. I love Nick."
"If you loved Nick you wouldn't be hiding this from him."
~~~

In which two ex-step-siblings reconnect after just about blowing up their family the first time around... Three years ago, Maddie fell hard for Jacob Isaacs, the smartest boy in her school. The only problem was this: Her dad had quite literally gotten engaged to his mother. The two tried to dampen the flames of their burgeoning attraction for each other but not before they got caught and were the talk of the town for months. After the fall out, Maddie moved away to try and start her life over and not be known as the girl who got caught doing it with her 'brother' at prom. She hasn't seen her family in ages and intends to keep things that way. Jacob, on the other hand, has worked hard to accomplish everything he's ever dreamed of.

After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as.

She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?
