As the sailor's misdeeds grow, tragedy swells up from another corner.

In addition to nearly losing his three brothers in a tragic boating accident, his now ex-girlfriend has double-crossed him right out of the successful computer company he founded in New York City. What he needs is a few days at home on Gansett Island to make sure his beloved brothers are safe and to get back in touch with what really matters—his family, his friends and the tiny island that soothes his battered soul. On the ferry ride home, he runs into an old family friend who's had her own share of heartache, and Adam helps her through some rough moments, sparking an unlikely alliance. Abby Callahan has come home to Gansett, single once again after her relationship with Dr. Cal Maitland blows up in her face. After two epic failures in the game of love, she's decided this is going to be the summer she busts loose and finally has some fun—and she's shaking things up in a big way! The new Abby swears, drinks, gets a tattoo, sleeps around and generally does anything her kinder, gentler alter ego wouldn't have dreamed of doing. Before too long, Adam has appointed himself her guardian and is determined that the only sleeping around she's doing is with him. That is… unless his brother Grant is willing to risk his newfound happiness with Stephanie to keep Adam from rebounding with his ex. And what happens when Adam and Abby realize their summer fling has taken a serious turn, especially when he gets the chance to return to New York and fight for the company that's rightfully his? Abby has already followed two men off the island. Does she have it in her to find out if the third time really is the charm? Another wild summer on Gansett Island is under way, complete with new stories for many of your favorite couples from past books!

When Jodi discovers a hidden jewelry box in the walls of the home she’s renovating, she turns to her ex’s friend, librarian Michele Galveston, to help piece together the mystery inside the box.

But the closer they get to solving the mystery in the jewelry box, the closer Jodi and Michele get to each other. Will Jodi risk her heart again—especially for someone as emotionally unavailable as Michele? And will Michele finally find a way to trust someone enough to share the secret she’s kept hidden for so many years? With Jodi’s wounded heart and Michele’s love ’em and leave ’em history, it’s likely that love songs and life might be two very different things.

Book excerpt: Renee Jones never imagined her little yoga practice would bring her fame and fortune, but that’s exactly what happened when one of her videos went viral. Now she runs one of the fastest growing yoga and apparel companies in the country. So, it makes absolutely no sense for her to up and move with her sister to a tiny island in Puget Sound, but that is precisely what she does when her Aunt leaves her a beautiful old home on Fireweed Island. As she quickly settles into island life, she begins to wonder why, with all of her business success, she still doesn’t feel satisfied. She spends every waking minute telling people how to achieve balance, and yet she’s busy spinning in circles most days and wondering what more there is to life. It isn’t until she finds a book of handwritten poetry on the beach that things start to take a turn. She knows she shouldn’t keep reading the journal, which is so full of beauty, but she can’t help herself. The poems are telling a story… like the words are speaking directly to her. When Renee sets out to find the rightful owner, she never expects the person to be the sexiest man alive. The moment Decker loses his journal, his world stops. He’s been writing in it since college, and it holds secrets he’s never told a soul. Granted, they’re coded in poetry, but he certainly doesn’t want them out in the public. Decker is so relieved when he gets a call from a perky woman claiming to have found it. He just never expects her to be the most beautiful woman in the world with a heart of gold. Next thing he knows, he's sharing a beautiful sunset on the beach with her wishing he didn’t have to leave. But his entire life is a world away, and he’s pretty certain she’d want no part of it.
