Betts McGee once spent blissful summer days on Bulls Island in South Carolina's Lowcountry. Those carefree times ended abruptly when scandal broke her engagement to J.D. Langley, scion of Charleston's most prominent family. She fled to New York and built a new life as a successful banking executive. Now her biggest career assignment brings her back to the island she adored. The project will permanently alter the pristine landscape of her youth. Returning means confronting her estranged family, who may not welcome her homecoming. Even more challenging, she must work alongside J.D., her former fiancé who has evolved over the decades but may not have changed enough. As Betts navigates professional pressures and personal history, she discovers that some bonds to place and people cannot be easily severed.
