There’s a reason Brinn Taylor will never leave Keating Hollow. It’s the only town that gives her peace from ghosts who haunt her. As an adult, Brinn has everything she’s ever wanted. Well, almost everything. The one person she’d had to give up was Austin Steele, the love of her life, when he left town to follow his own dreams. Only now he’s back, and he’s bidding on her at the first annual bachelorette auction. The problem? He’s only in town temporarily, and getting close to him again isn’t an option.

Once he settles his grandmother’s estate, he’s headed back out of town to the life he’s built for himself. But when there’s a mystery to solve regarding his grandmother’s estate, there’s only one person who can help him—Brinn Taylor. Now he’s ready to do whatever it takes to get back into her good graces… even if it means bidding a fortune for her company at a charity auction.
