Novo livro da autora de Aconteceu naquele verão traz romance sensual entre professor certinho e paisagista caótica Desde que quase beijou Julian Vos quando era adolescente, Hallie Welch tem uma quedinha pelo herdeiro de uma das vinícolas de maior renome da região. Quinze anos depois, porém, aquele homem gostoso que protagoniza suas fantasias mais picantes parece mais um fruto de sua imaginação do que uma realidade concreta. Só que agora o filho pródigo está de volta à cidade, e ela só precisa de uma chance para reacender aquela chama. Quando Hallie é contratada para dar uma repaginada no jardim da casa de hóspedes dos Vos, a possibilidade de conseguir aquele beijo é tudo em que consegue pensar. Mas quando percebe que Julian se tornou um professor mal-humorado muito diferente do jovem doce de quem ela se lembra, as personalidades opostas dos dois se chocam de forma colossal. Em uma licença sabática de seu emprego em uma universidade de elite, Julian voltou para casa em busca de tranquilidade para escrever um livro. Só que ter Hallie cuidando de seu jardim é uma distração e tanto. A paisagista é excêntrica, bagunceira e está sempre atrasada — mas também é tão linda que Julian não consegue se concentrar em outra coisa. Até que, após uma noite de fofoca e muitas taças de vinho, Hallie acaba colocando em prática uma ideia questionável: deixa uma carta romântica anônima para Julian, assinada por “sua admiradora secreta”. Assim que acha o envelope, ele fica se perguntando quem poderia ter escrito aquela declaração tão intensa, mas a verdade é que tem assuntos mais importantes com que se preocupar: como o fato de que seus pensamentos sobre Hallie estão ficando cada vez mais tórridos. Para um homem regrado como Julian, a energia caótica daquela mulher não faz sentido, mas a mera presença de Hallie parece estar virando seu mundo de cabeça para baixo. Será que é possível deixar a seriedade de lado e se entregar de vez ao amor?

Quando em uma noite regada a champanhe, depois de levar um fora do namorado, ela invade a cobertura de um hotel e faz uma festa que acaba saindo do controle, seu padrasto decide dar um basta no estilo de vida inconsequente de Piper. Ele corta boa parte do seu dinheiro e a manda para Westport, uma cidadezinha pesqueira com dois mil habitantes, na esperança de incutir na enteada alguma noção de responsabilidade ao fazê-la assumir o bar deixado pelo pai dela. Ao pôr os pés em Westport, Piper conhece Brendan, um capitão barbudo que está certo de que a garota não aguentará nem uma semana. Mas Piper está decidida a provar para o padrasto e aquele capitão rabugento (embora bem charmoso, não dá para negar) que ela é mais do que um rostinho bonito, mesmo que para isso precise cuidar de uma espelunca e morar em um apartamento minúsculo. A patricinha que adora festa é o extremo oposto do pescador pé no chão, mas a atração entre eles é inegável. Decidida a evitar distrações, Piper acaba encontrando em Westport um lar, se reconecta com seu passado e começa a se perguntar se a vida glamorosa, porém vazia, que levava em Los Angeles é realmente o que deseja.
