Johanna Coco
is finally home in Bitterly, Connecticut, to attend her beloved
grandmother's funeral—only to be confronted by the very reason she's
stayed away to begin with--Charlie McCallan. Her high school sweetheart is
now divorced, and no longer the skinny boy Johanna once
loved. Hometown handsome and dependable as always, Charlie is the kind of
man she needs to lean on as she and her sisters grapple with their
grief—as well as the mystery of their long-missing mother, Carolina. But
Johanna’s heart isn't only haunted by her ghosts; it’s haunted by
what happened between her and Charlie…
Charlie is
determined to do things right this time, and he has to do it before Johanna
vanishes from his life again. First he needs to prove to her that the past is
past, and they can overcome it--no easy task when he’s up against the ghosts
lingering in her life, trying to convince her that happily-ever-after is not in
the cards for any of the catastrophe-prone Coco sisters, least of all Johanna. But her fearless first love is
ready to do whatever it takes to win her back—ghosts be damned.

“I could see it in his eyes—he wanted to be the prince who rode up on his horse and saved the day. But I was no princess, and my Prince Charming had come and gone. I couldn’t survive losing another to dragon’s fire. Or to my own poisonous touch.” Reeling from a traumatic and heart-shattering night, Scarlett Rossi escapes back to her hometown, a place that never changes, though nothing about her is the same.
