Part of Heartbreaker Bay, book 1
First published 2016
Pru captains tour boats across San Francisco Bay, where rough waters prove easier to navigate than her feelings on shore. She adores her new apartment and the neighbors who've become her chosen family. The problem is Finn O'Riley, the pub owner whose six-foot frame and green eyes make her pulse race. Finn dedicates himself to his friends with unwavering loyalty, and when Pru joins that circle, she discovers what it means to be truly seen by someone who cares. A bizarre dart accident requiring shirtless medical attention catapults them beyond friendship into uncharted territory. Pru finds herself wishing at the neighborhood's legendary fountain for Finn's happiness, knowing she wants him for herself but cannot have him. A secret weighs on her conscience, one that could shatter everything they've built together. She must choose between protecting her heart and risking the truth that might destroy them both.
