Aurora Pike abandoned her opera dreams years ago. Now she teaches music to children in Snow Creek and helps her family rebuild after a wildfire destroyed their lives. Her recent breakup still stings when ghosts from her past return to complicate everything. She doesn't need complications like Brock Steel's unexpected kiss. Brock Steel learned his womanizing ways from his cousin Donny, who recently shocked everyone by settling down with Rory's sister Callie. Brock positions himself to catch Rory on the rebound, offering physical comfort without emotional strings attached. Their chemistry burns hotter than either anticipated. The attraction gives Brock a distraction from troubling discoveries about his family. Strange evidence keeps surfacing that suggests the Steel family reputation masks darker truths. Rory must decide what she truly wants while Brock faces the possibility that everything he believed about his family was wrong.
