The three Monroe sisters (Maddy, Nora, and Emma) all rush to
their grandmother’s beach house in Sea Haven, North Carolina after her neighbor
Connor Sullivan calls and tells them that their grandmother is missing. Betrayal from long ago still haunts the
estranged sisters as they work together to find their grandmother. Despite initially disliking each other, sparks
begin to fly between Maddy and Connor, but Maddy is afraid of heartbreak and
struggles to trust again.
Connor Sullivan is not the typical hero of Denise Hunter’s,
with his long golden hair often tied back and his scruffy face. Maddy initially thinks that Connor has the
careless look of a beach bum, but he quickly finds his way into her heart. This handsome, swoon-worthy character will definitely
find a place in readers’ hearts everywhere. New revelations and shocking family secrets come to light that the
readers will not expect.
Readers of women’s fiction, contemporary romance, and fans
of authors such as Beth K. Vogt, Robin Lee Hatcher, and Becky Wade will love
this highly recommended novel by Denise Hunter. For readers who have never read a Denise Hunter novel, this is the
perfect opportunity! You will not be
disappointed!

Back cover blurb:
When her
grandmother goes missing from the family beach house, Maddy and her estranged
sisters converge in Sea Haven, North Carolina. Being with uptight Nora and
free-spirited Emma in the home where their family broke apart is a struggle
Maddy is not in the mood to face, especially since she’s recovering from her
ex-boyfriend’s betrayal.
As the sisters wait for word of their grandmother, they begin to
pack up the family belongings—and unpack memories of the idyllic summers of
their childhood. But with those memories come long-buried secrets, and Maddy
discovers that all was not as it appeared that last summer in Sea Haven.
Meanwhile, Gram’s neighbor, Connor Sullivan, seems overly interested in Gram’s
whereabouts. Maddy is drawn in by his quick smile and steady gaze in spite of
herself.
Undercurrents of jealousy and resentment threaten to pull the
family under again, maybe for good this time. As tensions rise, the sisters
must find a way to accept each other for the women they’ve become—and Maddy
must decide if falling in love again is worth the potential heartbreak.
