Part of Gansett Island, book 17
First published 2018
Winter has settled over Gansett Island, and Riley McCarthy feels as gray as the weather. He works alongside his family to revive their business, McCarthy's Wayfarer, but his thoughts keep drifting to Nikki Stokes. She vanished last fall without a word, just after he'd been hired to repair her grandmother's leaking roof. They'd talked, he'd felt something spark between them, and then she was gone. Now Nikki has quit managing her twin sister Jordan's reality TV career. She's tired of the endless drama, especially Jordan's plan to reunite with the husband who released their devastating sex tape. Nikki escapes to her grandmother's oceanfront house on Gansett Island, hoping to find the sweet contractor who fixed the roof months ago. When Riley learns Nikki has returned, he knows he has to see her. He needs to discover if that attraction still burns between them and why a woman he met twice has occupied his thoughts more than anyone before her.
