It's been sixteen years since Norae Whelan's adoption. She's conquered her past by baking her way through her challenges. All that's left is culinary school, until a unique stranger offers her an opportunity to learn the truth of her birth and with it, the trial of facing down what she thought she left behind. Her birth mother's hometown is a place where memories hide beneath the floorboards of an eclectic house. Inheriting a house and all its mysteries is one thing. The instant attraction to Orion Reise is another. There's only one problem. Orion's blind, and the reason behind it lurks through the downtown streets, dying to take him away. With the end of summer fast approaching, Norae must make some big decisions. She'll have to decide if falling in love with Orion is worth the price of letting go of her past and embracing a potentially, disastrous future.
