Sand, Sea, & Second Chances
As soon as 30-something Kate Fiore steps foot on Gull Island, North Carolina, she knows this summer will be anything but ordinary. Eager for a fresh start after a painful divorce and job loss, she’s ready to embrace the tranquil coastal life and her summer marketing job at the aquarium.
Paradise found? Not quite. A locked door and a set-in-his-ways islander named Luke McAllister, wary of city newcomers, greet her instead.
Luke is fiercely protective of his family and community, and he’s not about to let some woman who thinks she knows it all disrupt island life. But when he’s forced to work with Kate on the community fundraiser and sea turtle patrol, their clashing personalities and undeniable chemistry make for some explosive encounters.
As Kate learns to appreciate Luke’s passion for the environment and he lets down his guard, their feelings for each other grow stronger. But just as they find happiness, Kate’s contract ends. Luke fears letting her go may cost him his one chance at forever.
