When Jasmine Walker returns to Harbor Falls after a fifteen-year absence—she expects to tie up some legalities of a will and head back to her home in Atlanta that same day. What she doesn't expect is for her troubled teenage past to collide with her well-planned, professional future.

 

When Ms. Leinie Harbor Crockett dies and leaves something for Jasmine Walker in her will, Jasmine returns to Harbor Falls to meet with the attorney of the estate and learns she has inherited the contents of a safety deposit box. A letter explains Ms. Leinie's wishes and the stipulations around Jasmine's inheritance—stipulations and requests that Jasmine may not be able to fulfill. Ms. Leinie's wishes do not align with Jasmine's busy life in Atlanta, nor does running into her old high school boyfriend, Jack Ackerman.

 

The last person Jack expects to see at the bank that day is Jasmine Walker—but once he does, he knows he is not going to let her leave without a conversation. Fifteen years fell away in a heartbeat, and he needs to understand why she left Harbor Falls in the first place. Jasmine's confessions leave him confused and angry but he refuses to believe she no longer has feelings for him. When Jack learns his inheritance is intertwined with Jasmine's, things suddenly become clearer.

With her passing, is Ms. Leinie orchestrating a star crossed reunion from the grave, bringing two young lovers back together after fifteen lonely years of hurt, secrets, and misunderstandings?
