It’s late 1974, and high school student, Melinda Dawson is in serious trouble. Within two hours of revealing her problem to her parents, she’s whisked off against her will to another state, far away from the boy she loves. Back in McCray, Washington, Greg Hart is one confused young man. His girlfriend vanished in the middle of the night without so much as a see ya later. After six long months, and still no word from her, he hopes to put his broken heart behind him by enlisting in the U.S. Marines. Thirty years later finds Melinda back in McCray to care for her ailing father. It’s not long before she runs into Greg, now retired from the military, and mayor of the tiny town. Immediate sparks erupt at their first meeting, rekindling the smoldering embers of a strong mutual attraction. Can the two of them bypass old feelings of anger, bitterness, and abandonment in order to find the love they once shared?
