Susan Sinclair has it all: great job, great apartment - and on some days she even manages great hair. She doesn't have a great man, but she's far too successful to have time for one. The she gets a frantic summons to return to where it all began - Copper Creek, her home in Michigan - only to discover that her grown daughter has followed in her not-so-proud footsteps by getting pregnant without getting married and her widowed mom seems to be scandalously juggling more men then she can count...

And, worst of all, he's still there - Jon Laker - still the man most likely to drive her crazy. So she marches into his business and declares she's there to discuss their daughter - and nothing else. After all, she made her choices a long time ago...but hours later - after not doing very much talking at all - Susan realizes that seeing Jon has turned her well-ordered world upside down. And Jon - plus mom and daughter - means it's going to be a long, hot summer in this small, small town.
