Will Sterling returns to a familiar address after sixteen years. As a teenager, he stood beneath these balconies and shared a perfect moment with a girl whose voice he never forgot. Now he's an overworked doctor who inherited the building. He plans to sell quickly and return to his regular life. Instead, he meets Nora Clarke on a balcony two floors up. She sounds exactly like the girl from his memory. Nora won't let Will destroy her quirky building and the close community inside it. She's devoted to her grandmother who lives there too. Nora starts sabotaging Will's sale efforts with small acts of interference. Will and Nora begin having whispered conversations before dawn. Both feel the pull between them, but their goals put them at odds. Will wants to sell and leave. Nora wants to protect her home and neighbors. Beneath their conflict runs a connection neither can ignore. Their balcony meetings echo that teenage encounter years ago. This might be a second chance story, or it might be doomed from the start.
