Moving back to Vermont after her divorce, was Kate's idea of starting over. All she thought she wanted, was a familiar place to begin a new life. But, once she settles into her new home and her new career, she discovers that what she's really missing, is a new man to complete the picture. With her 50th birthday looming, she's single, and scarred by too many bad dates. Despite few desirable suitors, she is holding onto nothing but hope. Then, one spring day, he arrives. Tall and handsome - he seems oddly out of place in this little town, and Kate begins to wonder who he is and how he happened to appear right in front of her store window. She soon discovers, that under his charming exterior, there lurks a secret he doesn't seem ready, or willing, to share.
