When Samantha Rainford--newly wed to Douglas Cosmo Rainford III--returns home from her honeymoon to find divorce papers waiting, she's shocked and heartbroken.

For generations, the Windsors have lived on the family's grand estate in Crestwood, South Carolina, as intertwined with local life as sweet tea and pecan pie.

Trinity swore never to return to Crestwood. But some ties can never be fully broken.
