Magdalena, New York.
Home of memories long buried, steamy nights, and one regrettable summerā¦
Grace Romano had been seventeen, impressionable, innocent to the power of attraction and desire.
Max Ruhland taught her about both. He loved Grace and thought they had a future together, until she crushed his heart and told him he wasnāt part of her life plan.
Twenty-two years later, Grace Romano Clarke is a widow with two children and a pile of broken dreams. When her aunt dies, she must return to Magdalena, the town sheād rather forget, to honor the womanās last wishes: stay in her house for thirty days, and complete a list that, according to her aunt, will reveal a bit about life and maybe reveal something about herself, too. What Grace doesnāt know but will find out soon enough is that Max Ruhland must stay in the house with her and help complete the list!
Max Ruhland isnāt the same lovesick puppy from the wrong side of the tracks who had his heart broken all those years ago. Heās a wealthy, successful businessman who owes his good fortune to Graceās aunt, the woman who never gave up on him. Max can have any woman he wants, but heās never forgotten Grace, or how she hurt him. Now heāll have to spend the next thirty days with herāin close quartersāto honor her auntās last wishes, and heās not looking forward to it.
Itās going to get very interesting as the town watches and wonders whatās going on between those two. Of course, Pop Benito understands exactly whatās happening in the house on Bayberry Street, even if Max and Grace donāt. Heās the one who helped Graceās aunt create the thirty-day list, which he insists will finally get this couple their happily-ever-after!
