A lifetime of memories waiting to be reclaimed.Emma Rose Watson left the salt air and the sunsets of Magnolia Bay ten years ago, chasing a future the world said she wanted.

Between the sweet treats of June's bakery and the rolling pastures of the Tanner Ranch, she begins to realize that the life she built in the city was an "internal death" she no longer wants to die.In a town where the honeysuckle and magnolia is sweet and the community is as sturdy as an old oak, Emma must decide: Is she brave enough to choose the quiet life? Or will she let the fear of her past pull her away from the only man who ever truly saw her?Return to Magnolia Bay, where grace is found in the simple things and love is always waiting on the porch.
