Sophia is stuck. Living in New York, she's surrounded by people who are carving out successful careers and building their futures, while she feels like she's treading water. Years have passed since Cole, the man she once loved, walked out of her life, and she's still reeling from the heartbreak. Unable to move on, Sophia finds herself trapped in the same emotional limbo she was in the moment Cole left-unfulfilled in her personal life, unsure of her next step, and haunted by the love she lost.
When Cole unexpectedly returns to town, everything she thought she had moved on from comes rushing back. He's changed-more mature, more regretful-but to Sophia, he's still the same man who walked out without looking back. The pain of their past is too fresh, and she's terrified of risking her heart again. But Cole is determined to make amends, to show her that he's not the same man who hurt her back then.
As the two are forced to confront the unresolved emotions between them, Sophia struggles to trust Cole once more. Her heart is caught between the memories of their love and the fear of repeating the same mistakes. Can Cole prove that people-and love-can truly change, or is their history too much to overcome?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
