Summertime in Louisiana... it's not the weather that's making Harmony sizzle. — Celine Hunter, the pretty librarian torn by emotions she has never felt before. She's willing to risk her reputation and her heart for a man who takes her breath away, but will he betray her? — Will Beaumont, the town's bad boy who ran away years before. Everybody wants to know why he's back in Harmony -- still wild, still sexy, still keeping secrets.

Miss Rose, the aging Kendall family matriarch, who treats Will like her own son. She has a mysterious reason for inviting him to her mansion once again.

Melanie, a faded beauty who likes her sex rough and her booze straight. Sixteen years ago she named Will as her child's father. Now it's time to find out why she lied.

An old scandal is heating up Harmony. It starts with Will Beaumont's return, but it's not going to end before the town explodes with new sins as brutal as murder... and as old as temptation.
