Still stinging from her cancelled wedding six months ago, she's ready for the fresh ocean breezes to blow away her past and help her stand on her own two feet again. After her experience with her family and friends who let her take the blame for the wedding fiasco, she's not ready to trust anyone. However, when she arrives in town, an accidental fire at her new not-quite-as-advertised home brings a handsome firefighter right into her new life.

His kind of dedication comes with sacrificing his personal life, and he's never minded…until now. One look at Hannah Drake makes him want to find a place for her in his heart and his life. He knows betrayal has made her cautious, but he'll do anything to convince Hannah to give Kenyon Cove—and him—a chance.
