Overview

She built walls around her heart-until he came home to tear them down. Cami Jackson has her life locked down tight. As Nashville's most ruthless property developer, she's made a fortune turning sentiment into profit and never looking back. But when a mysterious email about the Hearts Bend Inn-the place where her mother died fifteen years ago-lands in her inbox, everything she's buried threatens to surface. Some places hold more than memories. They hold the keys to who you're meant to become. Enter Ben Carter, the boy who gave her first kiss, now a devastatingly handsome hotel executive with his own empire to build. He's inherited his grandparents' beloved inn, but his future lies halfway around the world in Sydney. When Cami arrives with a briefcase full of cash and a heart full of unresolved pain, their reunion ignites a fire that could either heal old wounds or burn down everything they've built. In Hearts Bend, Tennessee, some inheritances are worth more than money... As Cami fights to honor her mother's memory and Ben struggles between duty and desire, they must navigate family secrets, corporate betrayal, and a love that refuses to stay buried. When her father's shocking revelation threatens to destroy the inn forever, Cami faces an impossible choice: protect the empire she's spent her life building or risk everything for the one place-and one man-that feels like home.
