Mattie Gaines has so much to be thankful for -- three beautiful children who are well on their way to making great love matches, a successful family business that keeps her challenged every day. But a part of her will never forget her first love, and she longs for her own romance du jour.
Wanting a new start, Will Jordan returns to Freewill and wonders whatever happened to that firecracker Mattie Gaines. When he spies her at the first annual Thanksgiving cook-off, old feelings resurface. Will can't forget Mattie's kisses from long ago, and he wants to make her remember, too -- even if it costs them both more than they bargained.
