If she'd known Jack Rutherford would walk back into her life, more ruggedly handsome than the day he left, Nicki Hamilton would never have agreed to run the small-town accounting firm of Gammage & Associates for the summer. She would have stayed in Toronto and left the past where it belonged.

A committed loner at thirty-four, Jack is finding everything about the lakeside community of Bedford County tantalizingly familiar. Including the pithy Miss Hamilton...but the timing isn't right. The Bedford Inn, once owned by his grandfather, is now Jack's, and what he really needs is an accountant.

Resisting the urge to throw Jack out of her office when he doesn't immediately recognize her, Nicki hides her fury and takes the job. Jack's plan to refurbish the Inn intrigues her. Besides, he owes her. Big time. For fifteen years of silence, a dozen unanswered letters, and one broken teenaged heart.

"The rest of the world can wait when you're reading a Stephanie Browning romance!"
