Welcome to Aspen Cove, where anything can happen if you just open your heart and mind...
Pop star Samantha White walks off the stage and disappears into a crowd of cheering fans. Overwhelmed by the pressures of fame, she escapes to the only place she remembers with fondness-Aspen Cove, a small town that embraced twelve-year-old Samantha when she and her mother fled her abusive father.
Peace in a secluded cabin is what she seeks, but the gruff next-door neighbor who accuses her of arson is what she gets. Samantha realizes that with Dalton Black around, clarity and calm will be impossible to achieve.
Chef Dalton Black doesn't ask for much. He knows most people would say he doesn't deserve much-not after spending six years in prison for killing a man. He's carved out a quiet life in Aspen Cove where he knows who's friend and who's foe. Just when he's achieved the peaceful, solitary existence he wants, he's thrust into the chaotic world of Samantha White, who sets his world on fire.
She's America's sweetheart. He's a convicted killer. When two lives collide, can they survive the impact?
