Teague and Joanna Darby stand ready to sign divorce papers when a ferry strike traps them at their beach cottage. The college sweethearts who once shared everything now face each other across years of silence and hurt. Deputy Kyle Treharne despises Yankees, particularly striking ones like Emma Lucchesi who arrive in his North Carolina coastal town with secrets. The New Yorker carries more than luggage, and Kyle discovers his prejudices crumble against her mysterious allure. Wedding planner Lexie Rollins never expected a staple gun to land her in legal trouble, but defending herself against a predatory groom brings assault charges. Now bounty hunter Nick Vardolous tracks her down, his reputation for capturing targets matched only by his skill at seduction. Three stories weave together desire rekindled, attraction across enemy lines, and passion born from pursuit.
