Jordan Stokes retreats to her grandmother's house on Gansett Island after her marriage crumbles on national television. The reality TV star needs time away from cameras and gossip while her twin sister Nikki builds a new romance with Riley McCarthy.

Mason battles his own demons as a recovering alcoholic who has sworn off complicated relationships. Jordan represents everything he should avoid, yet he cannot stay away. She came to the island to heal from her very public heartbreak. He spends his days putting out fires and his nights fighting temptation. Their attraction grows stronger despite the risks.
