Julie Charters loves everything about her family's Gabriola Island summer home, but she's neglected it for the last eight years. Now she's back for a hit-and-run trip - clean the house, get it ready for sale, and leave. But everything changes when Julie crashes into David McNaughton's dump truck.

The impact of David's dump truck is nothing compared to the shock when Julie discovers that David is now a widower. When Julie was thirteen she proposed to David with humiliating results, and the and the last thing she wants is to discover how devastatingly attractive, and available, David's grown. But she knows better than to fall for a man who always thought of her as second best.
