En fallfärdig stuga och ett krossat hjärta – kan det vara en chans till att börja om på nytt? När Annie återvänder till Thorndale, byn där hon spenderade en stor del av sin barndom, är hon redo för förändring. Hon tänker rusta upp stugan hon ärvt av sin gudmor, och läka sitt brustna hjärta. Det sista Annie behöver i sitt liv är drama, men stämningen i byn har uppenbarligen förändrats. När hon ryker ihop med den lokala hjälten, Jon, undrar hon om det var rätt beslut att återvända till Thorndale. Att hålla sig borta från Jon, som är irriterande snygg, visar sig vara omöjligt, särskilt när varenda människa verkar vilja få ihop dem. Annie är ute efter en nystart, helt utan romantik – men kanske måste hon satsa på kärleken för att återvinna tilliten till livet.
