The Templeton family has lived in the small southern town of Sweetwater, Georgia since before the Civil War. In 1860, Wesley Templeton built the antebellum-style house as a wedding gift for his new bride. Now, over one hundred and fifty years later, Amanda, Troy and Jessie Templeton jointly own the historical landmark...Templeton House.
Amanda Templeton, 29, has returned to Georgia for her father's funeral. She is at a crossroad in her career...in fact, in her life. As a Family Law attorney, she has watched too many families destroyed and the lives of too many children ripped apart by divorce. One goal while in town is to avoid the new Chief of Police, her former fiancée. Ten years earlier on the night they were to elope, he left town without a word and without her. With feelings of rejection and revenge behind her, she's ready to move on...or is she?
James Hudson, 31, is a widower with a precocious four-year-old daughter, Savannah. He has traded the “bad-boy” ways of his youth to become a patrolman and loves his job. When his stepfather has a stroke, James applies for the recently opened Chief of Police position so he can move back to Georgia and be available to help his mother. No one is more surprised when he's offered the job. He has changed in the past decade, but small towns...and Amanda...have very long memories.
They clash at every turn. Why can't life and love be simple? Will Amanda believe his explanation for leaving without her? With his daughter as a constant reminder that he has moved on with life, will Amanda ever be able to forgive him and give them a second chance? Only time will tell.
