When
Shaye dropped out of college mid-semester, and moved to Lopez Island
for the summer, she’d hoped to figure out what she wanted to do
with the rest of her life. Instead, she reconnects with childhood
friends Jason and Nick, and good intentions spiral into harrowing
confrontations. The summer ends in tragedy and Shaye flees the
Island, haunted by her mistakes.
Eight
years later, Shaye is forced to return to the place she’d hoped
never to see again. Now, she must face the people, and the pain she
left behind. She must confront the person she was, and decide who she
will become. Can Shaye forgive herself enough to let the past go, and
let love in?
Growing
up on Island the sister of Nick and Jason Reid was not easy when it
came to dating. All the guys looked at her as a sister and the
island's darling daughter. Evie runs the bakery and when her brother
hires Attorney, Ethan Archer, to run the Island office, she thinks he
is going to be just another friend.
Ethan
is a cowboy at heart and a gentleman. Not wanting to ruin his career
and his friendship with his boss, he steers clear of a romantic
attachment to Evie. But their friendship grows until one night they
cross the line and change their friendship forever. As their
relationship begins to grow the past comes back to haunt Ethan and
could destroy another relationship for Evie.
"This
book is so incredibly moving, and quite honestly, there are parts
that are just laugh out loud, righteously hilarious. Evie Reid is
kind, and good, and loving, and Ethan has to be the sexiest man
alive. Not only is this a beautiful story of love and family, but
holy smokes, Ethan and Evie are so sexy." - Chelsey S.
"Can
I please just move in next door to these people? In this second book,
Anders builds on the relationships of all the characters from her
first novel, and introduces us to some incredible new additions to
the story. Her ability to weave them in, and make you fall in love
with them, is extraordinary. Find a couple of hours to yourself,
because you wont be able to put it down." Lisa L.

she decides to chase her dreams on her own and develop the property
into a world class resort.

polished demeanor. But her construction manager, Riley Johnson,
challenges her motives. He forces her to examine her feelings, and
her true self.

resentments. With the future of her resort at stake, Julie must learn
