Tina Tomlinson is mortified to encounter Steve Bergman, the man with whom she had a brief, disastrous romance two years prior, especially since he doesn't recognize her. Though she has changed her appearance, Steve's presence in Oregon stirs old feelings, and when he finally realizes her identity, he demands an explanation for her abrupt departure and then proposes marriage. Tina suspects his proposal is not born of love, but she hopes that marriage will allow her to win him over.

This novel appears to be a classic contemporary romance focusing on themes of second chances and overcoming past misunderstandings. The narrative centers on Tina's internal conflict as she navigates a surprising proposal from a man who previously left her heartbroken and confused. The premise suggests a story driven by emotional reconciliation and the hope for a love that can be rebuilt on a foundation of honesty and renewed connection. The eventual outcome likely hinges on Tina's ability to convince Steve of her true feelings and for them to forge a genuine partnership.
