A restless soul, Ella goes wherever the wind takes her--but driven by a haunting dream, she's coming home to Dove Pond. Years ago, her mentor, Angela Stewart Harrington, falsely accused Ella of stealing her beloved family recipe book, known as the Book of Cakes. Now, Ella believes it's time for them to reconcile. Angela has her own share of amends to make. Her daughter Jules has never forgiven her for divorcing her father, and they've been estranged ever since. But just as Angela begins to hope that she and Jules might mend their tattered relationship, a miscommunication turns into a lie that could destroy everything. Meanwhile, Jules's son Gray is shocked that Ella, his first love and his first heartbreak, has returned to Dove Pond. But even though he knows Ella is a wanderer and will soon leave, he's unable to stop himself from falling for her once again. Can Gray find a way to convince Ella to give him, and their town, a serious chance? Or is he once again on the road to a broken heart? With so much at stake, Ella, Angela, and Gray must learn to accept each other--flaws and all--forgive the many mistakes of their pasts, and trust that love can, and will, always find a way.

A properly raised young lady rebels against the restrictions of both society and family when she meets a dark, dangerous, and wildly passionate man as they both fight to resist their forbidden love ... and the seductive pull of an ancient magic.
