Welcome back to Aspen Cove where the heartbeat of the town is found in its people ...
Katie Middleton grew up with a serious heart defect that stopped her from truly living. When she inherits a bakery from a stranger, she escapes her overprotective parents and moves to Aspen Cove. Because life is uncertain, she starts crossing items off her bucket list as quickly as she can. Row a boat. Ride a bike. Fall in love.
Bowie Bishop blames himself for the death of his high school sweetheart and vows to never love again. After ten years in the army, an injury ends his career, and he finds himself in the last place he wants to be-back home in Aspen Cove, where memories target him like an assassin.
When the beauty who owns the bakery catches his eye, he knows he's at risk of breaking his vow, but he finds he needs her like icing needs sugar.
Just when Katie knows her heart will only beat for Bowie, she discovers a secret that will shake the foundation of their new relationship.
A woman desperate to live. A man ready to die. Will the secret that binds them forever tear them apart?
