Lorsque, six mois après la mort de son mari, Annie Galloway décide de quitter sa grande maison pour aller s'installer dans un minuscule cottage en bord de mer, toute sa belle-famille proteste : comment peut-elle abandonner ces lieux où elle a été si heureuse, où elle a tant de souvenirs ? Annie ne répond pas. Impossible d'avouer que Kevin, possédé par le démon du jeu, lui a laissé une montagne de dettes, à peine couvertes par la vente de cette grande bâtisse victorienne. Veuve à trente-huit ans, sans enfants mais pourvue de deux chats, Annie fait une croix sur ses rêves et décide courageusement de prendre un nouveau départ. La dernière chose dont elle a besoin en ce moment, c'est d'un très séduisant voisin ! Sam Butler a fui Wall Street et un scandale boursier pour se réfugier sur la côte du Maine, dont il apprécie le charme tranquille. La vie lui a, tout comme Annie, infligé de dures leçons, mais il n'a pas perdu espoir...
