Leigh Brackon comes home to care for her supposedly sick mother and discovers John McElroy digging up the backyard garden. Their passionate summer romance crashed five years earlier, leaving both wounded from that failure and their respective divorces. John still feels the pull toward Leigh despite believing a simple handyman could never measure up to a accomplished scientist raising twin boys. Leigh carries a hidden truth that might reshape everything between them. Both remain gun shy about opening their hearts again. The neighborhood busybodies seem determined to push them together, but John and Leigh must decide if they have grown enough to risk building something real this time. Their second chance depends on whether they can move past old fears and trust what still burns between them.
