Donna Hughes, a newcomer to the island, is finally free and moving forward with her new life in the town of Somerset. Co-owning a business with a silent partner gives her unimagined independence. He rarely comes into the cafe and leaves the day-to-day operations to her. After settling into her charming rented guest house near the beach, a historic winter storm sends a tree crashing through the roof. Now she has no choice but to stay in the main house with her business partner. During the renovations, she holds fast to her secret. If he even suspects the truth, her time in Somerset will end. Garrett hates the way he feels when Donna’s around. Running the harbor and handling rowdy boaters is a piece of cake compared to managing his irksome feelings for her. Keeping his distance while she runs the business and rents out his guest house was the perfect solution. He had it figured out until a winter storm slammed a tree through the roof of the guest house. Donna’s shivering lips and distressed face nipped at his heart. He had no choice but to offer his home. She’d only have to stay with him for a couple of weeks, right? He’s lived on a boat for longer than that. One renovation snag after another makes her stay longer than expected. As the situation unravels, the truth about the business and their feelings comes to light. And it might be the end of a beautiful beginning in this grumpy hero office romance.

Book excerpt: On the eve of the Great Depression, Verna Krone, the child of Irish immigrants, must leave the eighth grade and begin working as a maid to help support her family. Her employer takes inappropriate liberties, and as Verna matures, it seems as if each man she meets is worse than the last. Through sheer force of will and a few chance encounters, she manages to teach herself to read and becomes a nurse. But Verna’s new life falls to pieces when she is arrested for assisting a black doctor with "illegal surgeries." As the media firestorm rages, Verna reflects on her life while awaiting trial.
