High-powered Boston attorney Emma Madison is celebrating her latest courtroom victory when she gets a call from a number she doesn't recognize. Area code 803-home.
Home is Juneberry, South Carolina-eight hundred miles, twelve years, and a lifetime away from Boston-and Emma's father has had a serious heart attack. Emma rushes to his bedside, and a weekend trip threatens to become an extended stay. She has to work fast to arrange the affairs of his small-town law practice so she can return to her life and career in Boston.
And then Michael Evans shows up. They'd shared hopes, dreams, and a passionate love as young college students during a long-ago summer. But Emma walked away, from Michael and from Juneberry, to finish college and start a new life. Michael has never forgotten her.
Enveloped in the warmth of family and small-town life, and discovering that she still cares for Michael, Emma knows she'll have to make a choice between the career she's worked so hard to build and the love she left behind. When Emma returns to the small town where she grew up, she rediscovers a long-lost love; now she'll have to choose between her hard-won career in the city and the man she left behind.
