Rivers Run is a small quiet town in the Northwoods. Everybody knows everybody. Rumors flow from tongue to tongue, the same as anywhere else. The rumor mill kicks into high gear when a stranger shows up and comes across a tragic fire. Who is the woman who was pulled from the fire and what was she doing in an abandoned cottage? It seems there are family secrets that were so well kept that even the family themselves didn't know about them. Jackie O'Reilly ignores those wagging tongues. She's got enough on her plate right now with planning her marriage to Doug Sterling. When he first proposed, she was so shocked that all she could do was mutter 'yes'. She's managed to push her uneasiness aside and continue with making plans. When she's confronted with the one thing that could change her mind, will she get past it, or will she call off the wedding altogether?
