Prior Affair in Bloomington, MN

Hailey Freeman goes to Blackwood with a specific mission - at least on the surface. When a sudden tragedy thrusts her into chaos, she expects to find herself mired in confusion, bereft, while she figures out how to pick up the pieces.
Instead, she finds comfort, clarity, and --baffling- familiarity in the arms of Ellis Boyd.
A stranger.
A stranger who can't help wondering if he knows Hailey somehow, met her somewhere, another time they just can't remember - the only explanation for their swift, consuming connection.
At least... the only one that makes sense.
Right?
