Producing the reboot of classic teen show Sawyer's Cove will move Selena Echeveria up another rung on the Hollywood ladder. All her energy is on making unforgettable television, but the small town of Misty Harbor, Connecticut, surprises her with a big distraction: she recognizes her landlord as her favorite author. She's compelled to find out why he dropped off the grid to live in Misty Harbor-and why he's so much sexier than his author photo.

Warner Mathis hasn't written a word-or been with a woman-since his wife died five years ago. Now he takes care of rental properties, escaping his pain through manual labor. He hides behind his gruff reputation-until Selena, his unexpected, beautiful tenant, starts pushing at the rusted-shut door to his heart.

When a storm knocks out power to her rental, Selena shelters with Warner-and the lightning outside can't match the heat they generate inside. Yet Warner's afraid to move into the future when he's still living with the ghosts of the past.

Second chances make for great television, but can Selena convince Warner he deserves another shot at love?
