"When Anne Elliott broke up with Ben Wentworth, it seemed like the right thing to do... but now, eight years later, she’s not so sure. In her scenic hometown of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Anne is comfortable focusing on success, filling her late mother’s shoes as a town councillor and executive director of her theatre company. She certainly keeps busy as the all-around wrangler of eccentric locals, self-centred family members, elaborate festivals, and the occasional attacking goose. But the more she tries to convince herself that her life is fine, the more it all feels like a show--and not nearly as good as the ones her theatre company put on. She’s the always responsible Anne, always taken for granted and cleaning up after other people, and the memories of happier times with Ben Wentworth still haunt her. So when the nearby Kellynch Winery is bought by Ben’s aunt and uncle, Anne’s world is set ablaze as her old flame crashes back into her life--and it’s clear he hasn’t forgiven her for breaking his heart. A joint project between the winery and Anne’s theatre forces Ben and Anne to confront their complicated history, and as they spend more time together, Anne can’t help but wonder if there might be hope for their future after all."--Publisher.
