Ingrid Asher opens her ice cream shop each morning in Mystic Bayou, a hidden swamp town where supernatural beings live among humans.

Rob heads the League's data science department and possesses the kind of good looks that make Ingrid uncomfortable. She wants him to stay away from her business and her life. Rob keeps showing up anyway. The mathematician's persistence chips away at the walls Ingrid has built around herself. She begins to see past his perfect exterior to the person underneath. Trust doesn't come easily to Ingrid. Her past holds secrets that could destroy any chance at happiness. She must decide whether Rob can handle the truth about who she really is.
