Malcolm and Serena Saint James fell in love when they were school kids, and thought it would last forever. But a hasty marriage at eighteen led to an even quicker divorce...and a lifelong friendship dissolved into bitterness. Even though the two clash whenever they meet, it's obvious to everyone--especially Malcolm's grandmother, Olivia Saint James—that they still strike sparks as well. And Mama James is determined that they reunite ... one way or another. When Olivia passes on, she wills Malcolm the cherished family home and Serena half of her $10,000 savings—if they reside in the house for ninety days ... together. If not, everything goes to charity. Malcolm can't stand to lose the beloved house, and Serena, a talented hairstylist, has long dreamed of opening her own salon. The two move back into the old place—with all their old resentments. But they're not kids anymore ...could Mama James' legacy lead to love regained?
