Isabella Austin Evangelista never believed miracles could touch her life. Years ago, she left Prentice Cameron and their small fishing town, abandoning what seemed like love. Prentice moved on and married Fiona Sawyer, building a complete life until brain cancer stole his wife away. Now he struggles alone with his business, household chaos, and two children tired of takeout dinners. When Isabella returns to town, she slips into the Cameron family like magic. She bakes perfect chocolate cakes and gives manicures to six year old girls. But Prentice carries old wounds from their past, convinced Isabella was just a spoiled rich girl playing with his emotions during summer visits. Isabella harbors devastating secrets that explain her long ago departure. Meanwhile, Fiona's spirit remains trapped in their village, watching her widowed husband and his former love navigate their complicated reunion. Against all expectations, Fiona finds herself hoping Isabella and Prentice will discover love again. Yet Fiona learns her ghostly presence serves a purpose. She must protect Isabella from lurking dangers, or this second chance at happiness will crumble before it begins.
