Description
It should have been the anniversary celebration of a lifetime.
Instead, after five years of marriage, Natalie Howard-Neiman finds herself suddenly widowed, grieving, and haunted by suspicions. Why was Paul late tonight, of all nights? And who was the mysterious woman he was with when their cab crashed?
Two years later, Natalie is no closer to answers—and no closer to moving on. Every room in their Macdonough Sreet Brownstone apartment feels haunted, and everywhere she turns is a bittersweet reminder of the memories she and Paul will never make. Even her career as a successful trauma specialist has lost its luster.
When an old friend and mentor invites her to partner in his St. Simons Island clinic, Natalie leaps at the chance. Perhaps a change of scenery is the prescription she needs for emotional healing and a new perspective on life.
From the first dip of her toes in the ocean, Natalie falls in love with the island. The clinic work is challenging but rewarding, and she is quickly befriended by Rosie, the eccentric owner of the local diner, and Jake, the tall handsome contractor who seems just a little too full of himself.
The last thing Natalie is looking for is romance. She’s still haunted by grief and doubts, and Jake is definitely not her type. Even if he were, Rosie has pointedly staked a claim. No, best to quash the mutual attraction and keep things in the friendzone.
But when the past and its secrets blow into St. Simon’s, they set off a maelstrom of subterfuge, misunderstandings, and betrayal. Natalie is about to find the answers to all her questions, and they may cost her more—or gain her more—than she could have imagined.
