Of one thing Ella Hurley is certain: There is no one she dislikes more than BJ Marek from back in the day...except maybe herself. The startup of World War ll brought squadrons of soldiers flooding the northern border town of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan in-order-to protect the Locks. With war came certain hardships. But adversity had already been known to the Hurley family long before the onset of widespread battle. To drown out reminders of the past, Ella Hurley focuses on her work as a nurse at War Memorial Hospital. But when a soldier arrives in town and falls under her care after sustaining injuries during the devastation of Pearl Harbor, the past gets dug up. And tangled up. While Ella finds herself crossing lines that weren't meant to be stepped over caregiver to patient. The patient...who is not really what he seems.
