For years, Marnie's had her heart set on moving Wish & Co to the historic shopfront once owned by her grandfather. When the chance to bid for the property unexpectedly arises, Marnieโ€”distractedโ€”makes an uncharacteristic mistake.

Soon Brian is in a fight to rescue his marriage, and Marnie is scrabbling to keep her dreams alive. With so much at stake, the last thing Marnie needs is to fall for Brian and Suzanne's son...
