Part of Gansett Island, book 4
First published 2019
Grant McCarthy won an Academy Award for best original screenplay, but his life has crumbled since then. Abby, the woman he planned to marry, is now engaged to another man. His father suffered a serious injury, so Grant returns to Gansett Island to help run the family marina. He tells himself he should focus on winning Abby back, but Stephanie keeps getting in his way. She runs the marina restaurant and somehow manages to be both infuriating and irresistibly attractive. When a major tropical storm isolates Gansett Island from the mainland, Grant finds himself trapped with Stephanie. He discovers she carries secrets from her past, something significant she has been hiding. Grant faces a choice between pursuing his former fiancée or helping Stephanie confront whatever terrible wrong she needs to make right. The decision could determine whether he reclaims his old life or builds something entirely new.
