"When Emily's fiancé walks out on her while she's still grieving the loss of her family in a terrible accident,…
she escapes back to Hope Haven on the remote Dune Island, where her family vacationed every summer. Emily hopes that fixing up the house will also mend her broken heart, but the cottage holds more than just bittersweet childhood memories. Emptying her father's antique writing desk, Emily finds a letter that reveals a devastating secret about her parents. With a head full of questions that can never be answered, it seems like returning to the island was the worst decision Emily ever made... until she meets Lucas Socorro, saltwater dripping from his dark curls after a surf session. As they take long walks on the soft sand, and talk late into the firefly-lit night, Emily wonders if Dr. Luke--as the kids in the hospital call him--could be the one to help her heal. With Luke holding her hand, delving into her family's painful past is a little easier. Painting the gloomy cottage walls the color of seashells, and revamping her grandmother's flea-market furniture, Emily starts to feel she might call Dune Island home for good--and that she could build that home right here with Luke. But when Emily's family secret spreads through a network of local gossips, her fragile heart breaks all over again. Luke is the only one who could have started the rumors. Was she wrong to trust him so easily?" -- OCLC

a sea captain she's never met. Amelia Barrett, heiress to an estate nestled in the English moors, defies family expectations and promises to raise her dying friend's baby. But she knows she can't do it alone and finds herself in the surprising position of asking Graham, the child's father—a man she's never met before—to marry her. When the baby vanishes with little more than an ominous ransom note hinting at her whereabouts, Amelia and Graham are driven to test the boundaries of their love for this little one.
