From the back cover

Marcus has loved Elena since the three of them shared a red-brick apartment building, but she only ever had eyes for Nate. When Elena collapses at the pier, Marcus rushes her to the hospital while Nate boards the ferry alone; that night the vessel capsizes and Nate is lost. Marcus spends fifty years nursing Elena back to life, marrying her, and giving her unwavering devotion, believing tenderness had made him enough. Only at her deathbed does he learn her one regret was never making that ferry.

When Elena's heart monitor flattens, Marcus collapses beside her and wakes as a thirty-year-old at the harbor, with Elena unconscious in his passenger seat. This time he does not step on the gas; he calls Nate and warns him not to board the boat. At the hospital, Elena's eyes find Nate with a passion Marcus never received in fifty years of marriage, and Nate soon admits she has confessed her love for him.

Marcus must now decide what to do with a second chance at a life he finally understands was never truly his.
