Lindsay Gowan had been planning a vacation for months and now that summer has arrived, meaning her daughter, Millie, would be spending it with her, her hard work has finally paid off.
Determined to make this the best summer ever for Millie, and maybe to make up for the shared custody arrangement that has been taking a toll on her daughter, Lindsay ensures that nothing will come in the way of the perfect trip. Except the trip may not go as Lindsay planned when an unexpected guest at the same resort stirs up old feelings better left buried.
Josie Hill has gotten to live the dream that her and Lindsay both dreamed of in their teen years, but she has been carrying around guilt, heartache, and trauma for the last fifteen years. Without the person who held a special place in her heart, her life has been less than desirable.
However, a chance encounter brings them back together, but is a week enough time to set the record straight, heal old wounds, and maybe rekindle a flame that's died long ago?
