After attending her baby sister's destination wedding, Shelby Worthington decides she's ready to do some husband hunting of her own. The only problem? She's still insanely attracted to Declan Enright, her high school and college crush. He's now a wildly successful painter who's temporarily back in Magnolia Bay, but Declan should be Shelby's last choice for possible husband material. He didn't earn the reputation of runaway groom for nothing...
Declan has worked hard to make his mark on the New York art scene and has succeeded at everything he's ever done...except love. But Declan has come back to the Bay to change that and care for his dying father, even if he's 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 can't deny her attraction, Shelby's convinced that Declan's track record means he will break her heart. Or has Declan changed for good, and made love worth the risk?
