In the cozy small town of Whisper Falls, Donna Russ has learned to rely on no one but herself. Burned by her father's broken promises and a string of summer heartbreaks, she waits tables at the Jukebox Diner, quietly providing for her family and guarding her heart against anyone just passing through.

Then charming, free-spirited
Felix Kingston blows into town. He's the black sheep of a real estate dynasty, drifting from one adventure to the next—and he's determined to win her over. But Donna refuses to be anyone's charity case, and Felix is everything she can't afford to want.

As summer fades toward Labor Day, Felix makes a gesture that could change everything, and proves he might finally be ready to stop running.


Now Donna must decide…

Will she keep her walls up and let him leave with the season? Or risk her guarded heart on the one man brave enough to stay?
