Jess O'Brien has overcome a lot—the challenges of attention deficit disorder, the near bankruptcy of her beloved Inn at Eagle Point, and her self-perception as a screwup in a family of overachievers. Now she's ready to share her future with a man. Her friends persuade her to join a dating service… but she gets no takers. That’s fine by psychologist Will Lincoln, her childhood friend. He's already chosen the perfect man for Jess: himself. Will has loved Jess practically forever. He knows her faults and her strengths. But for all his sincerity and charm, Jess fears he views her as some psychological case study. With her family and the town of Chesapeake Shores behind him, he finally makes his case. But is it enough to convince her to take the risk of a lifetime?
