After attending her baby sisterâs destination wedding, Shelby Worthington decides sheâs ready to do some husband hunting of her own. The only problem? Sheâs still insanely attracted to Declan Enright, her high school and college crush. Heâs now a wildly successful painter whoâs temporarily back in Magnolia Bay, but Declan should be Shelbyâs last choice for possible husband material. He didnât earn the reputation of runaway groom for nothingâĻÂ
Declan has worked hard to make his mark on the New York art scene and has succeeded at everything heâs ever doneâĻexcept love. But Declan has come back to the Bay to change that and care for his dying father, even if heâs still never forgiven Declan for leaving the family business. Shelby is determined to steer clear, but while her lips keep saying no, her heart is pounding out yes each time she and Declan are together. While she canât deny her attraction, Shelbyâs convinced that Declanâs track record means he will break her heart. Or has Declan changed for good, and made love worth the risk?Â
